The CAC warmly welcomes Jimmie Warren as a newly-affiliated minister.
Dual Affiliation
We here of Simple Salvation a free church in YESHUA /JESUS Believe everyone in all Christian churches are brothers and sisters in our Lord God Almighty and have joined with many other church groups all in one body,that of our Lord and Savior Yeshua Messiah Jesus .As founder of Simple Salvation I Bishop Jimmie Warren am glad to be partners with this great church who believe in freedom of worship and joining hands as we all strive to become true heirs and children of God.
Our dear brother Michael Wrenn want you all to know we agee on most spiritual matters and we also agree to disagree on some issues but keep everything to the Lord Jesus,for it isn't about which church is better but we are all one in Christ Amen
I hope you will join me as I wish all the brothers and sisters bless it be to the Lord for we are one!
The CAC, in the spirit of Christian unity and charity, allows its members to have dual affiliations with other Christian communions; however, the CAC does not permit dual affiliation with those communions with principles diametrically opposed to those of the CAC, such as, but not limited to, the ordination of self-avowed, practicing homosexuals or the performing of same-sex unions or "marriages".
Further, the CAC affirms that any such appellation as "Christian Hindu", etc., is a misunderstanding of the Christian faith. The monotheism of Christianity is incompatible with such things as the polytheism of Hinduism.
However, the CAC does affirm that anything good in a religion, and in general the religious impulse in humans, represents God's reaching out to people and people's responding to God with the light they have been given. This is fully in accord with Quakerism, Wesleyanism, Arminianism, and Celtic Christianity. For instance, Native American spirituality and Celtic spirituality share some common emphases, such as a reverence for the earth as God's creation.
For those who would criticize the belief of the CAC that the good in any religion is a reflection of God and accuse us of syncretism, they should examine their own practices. Do they allow their children to trick-or-treat on Halloween? Do they celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25, knowing that Jesus was not born on this date, but that this was incorporated from the Winter Solstice celebrations of all the world's religions which commemorated the return of the sun god? Do they allow their children to have toy bunny rabbits and hunt "Easter" eggs -- and on church property -- mingling symbols of an ancient fertility rite with a celebration of the Resurrection of Christ? Now the CAC does not condemn these things; they are done in innocence by Christians of goodwill. Further, this shows a certain commonality between all cultures. These things are mentioned here just to show how some can become fanatical about anything.
The CAC will always affirm the Quaker and Wesleyan view of John 1:9, but this in no way supports the idea that all religions are one and the same, or that Christianity is compatible with them. The CAC opposes dual affiliation with non-Christian religions.
The CAC is opposed to syncretism --the attempted blending of irreconcilable principles. The CAC is a "middle way" between theological extremes, and we seek to be eclectic within the Celtic and Anabaptist heritage, but in no way are we in favor of syncretism. This is the surest path to a one-world religion which we explicitly disavow.
Therefore, the CAC will seek to assure that all its members are in agreement with and fully supportive of the stated CAC Principles, regardless of any dual affiliation.
The CAC is pleased to announce the following persons consecrated or received as bishops in our communion:

Robert Conley
IN MEMORIAM
It is with deep sadness that I must report that our beloved Bishop Robert Conley passed away recently; it was unexpected and a great shock!
Robert and his wife, Tonya, were residing in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Robert was Presiding Bishop of The Society of the Cross, a Christian Society within the Church Universal.
Bishop Robert and Tonya hosted our very first communion-wide CAC gathering and conference in the summer of 2006. A wonderful time was had by all, and Robert and Tonya were gracious hosts!
Robert was a very dedicated bishop who had a passion for the Gospel. During the time I knew him, we had become good friends; I will miss him terribly.
I ask that everyone keep Tonya and the children in your prayers.
This memorial page will be left here indefinitely as a tribute to our beloved Bishop Robert Conley, with whom we shall all be reunited someday!
God bless Robert, his family, and all the CAC family!

Jimmie Warren
The CAC warmly welcomes Jimmie Warren as a newly-affiliated minister. In Jimmie's words:
"I am Evangelist/Pastor Jimmie W. Warren, the founder of Simple Salvation which was inspired by the Holy Spirit which lead me to start doing a small TV Show on February 1994 in Spokane Washington and is now a charter church.
This work is for all those who have had it with old time religion, and fear tactics. If you are tired of FALSE TEACHING and Non-Biblical truths; if you really want to be free in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then this is one of the many places to come.I have been with many diverse churches along my path of searching for truth.
First I was baptized through my dear grandmother's Pentecostal church in Saint Louis, MO. in 1960 at age 13. Later, in Oct. 1962, I was baptized again, this time at the age of 16 in the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST in Livermore, California.
Then the Lord lead me into the WORLD-WIDE CHURCH OF GOD in Oakland, Ca. Through the help of the Holy Spirit I received most of my biblical training and spokesman skills with the WORLD-WIDE CHURCH OF GOD from the years 1966-1976. After ten years with this church, I found a new calling in the search for GOD'S true WORD. I became a visiting minister to those who had left their different churches or who had lost their contact to God because of Religious ideological differences.
I BEGAN holding Bible studies in homes of those who wanted to meet and learn more of God's freedom. Later I helped those who felt lost and abandoned after leaving or being kicked out of their churches. You see GOD'S REAL CHURCH IS SPIRITUAL, NOT IN ANYONE'S BUILDING BUT IN YOU!
I was ordained through the Universal Life Church of Modesto, Ca. on October 4th 1999. I was given the title Evangelist in Nov. 2000. I quit the ULC because they recognize Pagans and Satan ministers the same as Christian ministers. The Holy Spirit had me start Simple Salvation Church of God which became a charter church Feb. 08, 2006.
We have 50 ordained ministers of Simple Salvation Church of God all around this country with 4 other independent chartered churches added as churches of God, sharing this calling.I also became a Chaplain with the United States Corps of Chaplains back in Nov. 22, 2005 to better serve my fellow man.
As Evangelist/Pastor/Chaplain/Bishop I humbly still teach that if you BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, repent of your sins, and confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Master, YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE! (THIS is a sign of your new life in Christ Jesus), and by Living by the Bible and acting like Christ YOU WILL BE FILLED by the Holy Spirit. This is being saved! Yes, You are saved when you accept Jesus and change your ways! This is all you need, the rest is pure religion."

Tom Cargill
Tom Cargill lives in England and has for many years been called to reach those Christians who have dropped out of churches for any reason. He particularly calls Anglican Christians to join our community if they no longer feel able to support the way the Anglican communion has gone. The many Christians who have been shaken out of established churches is in the thousands. He was called by God to reach these and restore and rebuild their wrecked faith. He presented himself to the leadership of the Celtic Anabaptist Communion and invited them to recognize his calling. They did so and he came out of retirement to take up his ministry and anointing.
Tom now has a ministry called The New Celtic Church UK and Ireland. We welcome him warmly into the CAC family.
