King James Only movement

The King James Only Movement accepts the King James Version (KJV) as being the only legitimate Bible translation for English speaking people.

The terms "King James Only" or "KJV-Only" are applied to those holding a wide variety of doctrinal views, some of which are conflicting. Some hold that the KJV is simply the best translation of the preserved manuscripts, while others hold the more extreme view that the KJV was actually "given by inspiration of God" (2Tim. 3:16, KJV) and has more authority than the original manuscripts.
