King James Only movement

[9] The exclusive use of the King James Version is recorded in a statement made by the Tennessee Association of Baptists in 1817, stating "We believe that any person, either in a public or private capacity who would adhere to, or propagate any alteration of the New Testament contrary to that already translated by order of King James the 1st, that is now in common in use, ought not to be encouraged but agreeable to the Apostles words to mark such and have no fellowship with them".

[11] However, despite defending the Authorised Version and the Textus Receptus, both Burgon and Miller believed that although the Textus Receptus was to be preferred to the Alexandrian Text, it still required to be corrected in certain readings against the manuscript tradition of the Byzantine text (thus advocating the Byzantine priority theory).

He goes so far as to conclude that Erasmus must have been providentially guided when he introduced Latin Vulgate readings into his Greek text;[13] and even argues for the authenticity of the Comma Johanneum.

[15] Another known defender of the King James Only movement was Benjamin G. Wilkinson (1872–1968), a Seventh-day Adventist missionary, theology professor and college president, who wrote Our Authorized Bible Vindicated (1930) in which he asserted that some of the new versions of the Bible came from manuscripts with corruptions introduced into the Septuagint by Origen and manuscripts with deletions and changes from corrupted Alexandrian text.

[16] Gail Riplinger (born 1947) has also addressed the issue of differences in current editions of the King James Bible in some detail.

[22] During this time, a more radical form of King James Onlyism was also developed by the Independent Baptist minister Peter Ruckman (1921 – 2016), who argued that the KJV is "new revelation", superior to the original Hebrew and Greek.

[26] The Southern Methodist Church holds the King James Version of the Bible to be a "trustworthy standard to preach from the pulpit.

[29][30] The King James Version of the Bible is used exclusively by the Apostolic Faith Church, a Holiness Pentecostal denomination.

Other promoters of the KJV Only movement include the following organizations and individuals: James White has thoroughly researched the background and sources of the Bible as we have it today, and he points out the serious weaknesses of the KJV Only position, a view seemingly based more on faulty, unprovable assumptions than on solid evidence.
