Baptist Board forum

Here's a lengthy but interesting KJVO thread at BaptistBoard.com on the origins of the KJVO movement. The thread is interesting because contributors include Baptist missionaries and pastors, and because it references some first-hand experiences with Baptist Bible schools and churches during the early years of the KJVO movement. Beware the last few pages; a couple KJVO folk try hijacking the thread and it starts to deteriorate into typical KJVO-style salvation questioning and red herring flinging.

Posts of note in this thread
1. The Psalm 12 controversy: #27
2. cults' use of KJV: #44
3. KJVO vs. foreign language Bibles and missions: #16, #180
4. reasons for KJV dominance / continued use of other translations: #22, #49, #83, #119
5. The "study to show thyself approved" archaism: #29, #39
6. The "devil's plot" to water down the Bible claim: #16, #189
7. KJVO / Baptist history: #3, #7, #53, #64
8. KJVO / anti-charismatic (& anti-contemporary music) link: #195

Baptists and Bible Translation

Interesting analysis of Baptists, their historical participation in world missions, and their priority of accurate, relevant Bible translation.

Note the "immerse" / "baptize" translation issue.
