Association of Historic Baptists, About and The Historic Affirmations
“1. The Authorised Version of the Holy Scripture, the official English translation used in the pew and from the pulpit.”
“The Authorised Version - The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are plenarily and verbally given by the inspiration of God and therefore inerrant in all their parts. God has preserved His Word through the Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus. The Authorised Version is the most reliable translation of the Bible in English. The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith and practice.”

The Articles of Faith that include the King James Bible were adopted at their first meeting in 1935.]
