King James Bible and Salvation

Let’s Talk About The Bible, Episode # 3, interview with Manny Rodriguez, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Beaufort, South Carolina.

King James Bible Defenders are often charged with claiming people can’t be saved without the King James Bible – and there evidently are a few extremists who do believe that. The vast majority of users and defenders of the King James Bible do not believe that. Asked about whether people could be saved from a modern version other than the King James Bible, Pastor Manny Rodriguez replied:

“We’ve always said for years that there is enough of the gospel in John 3:16 to save the whole world. So, let’s make believe that there is a Bible so corrupt that the only verse correct in it is John 3:16. Guess what? That’s still enough to save the whole world.”

I think that answer best reflects the predominant view of King James Bible Defenders.
