King Henry VIII did not license the printing of the 1611 KJV. King Henry VIII licensed in 1537 a printing of a revision of the 1535 Coverdale's Bible. This 1537 Bible stated on its title page: "Set forth with the King's most gracious license." In 1537, King Henry VIII also licensed the printing of the 1537 Matthew's Bible.

The 1539 Great Bible is the first authorized version in English.
Exactly

Using the KJV as a comparison standard from English to whatever language translation(not modern versions).
You seem to mean that the KJV must mean what we call the source text (ST). Must the KJV be the ST for a translation in, say, Japanese, for the Word of God to be pure in Japanese?

What happens if you die before you get baptized?
I've always thought that if one believed baptism was necessary for salvation, they should fit a pick up truck with a baptismal pool and use that for evangelism. Otherwise, exactly what you said--what if they die before getting baptized? They are then stuck with faith in Jesus that didn't really work right. :Geek

Ask the thief who was with Jesus about that!
