King James Only Movement - King James Only Movement The King James Only Movement is a movement within Protestant fundamentalist Christianity which rejects all modern translations of the Bible, and accepts only the King James Version (KJV). This position is most prevalent within the Independent Baptist branch of the Baptist movement. The rejection is based in part on the different texts which were used to translate the different translations of the Bible. Most modern translations are translated from the Alexandrian manuscripts, while the King James Version was translated from the Textus Receptus, or Received Text. There are variations within the King James Only Movement. For example, the late John R. Rice, who published The Sword of the Lord, took a position that only the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts are inspired scripture,.
