Excellent post. Thank you for the info William Carey and his team always translated baptizo with "immerse" in the many translations he did, and we have done so in our new Lifeline Japanese NT.

Because of the accuracy of the translation and the beauty of the language. I once had a Japanese salesman come to our door in Asahikawa, and we got to talking about the Bible. He was a Buddhist, but had read the Japanese Bible, and so he commented, "A holy book should have dignity and beauty in...

That's a pretty radical standard. But pursuant to the OP, did it start an actual movement, or was it a one off statement?

Hey, this is my thread! :p I'm pretty much done with my timeline, so I asked myself, can it hurt to widen the discussion a little? And I answered myself, naw, go ahead.

You make some good points, but I have to say that once you get past the "thee" and "thou," the KJV is not that hard to understand. I've been discipling an elderly ex-Charismatic for a couple of years (still a ways to go--ex con, etc.), and someone gave him a KJV so he has been using it and...

You got me, dead to rights! Confused

This is a totally wrong. I'm done with you. I will not interact with you anymore, and am putting you on ignore. You keep lying about me. I DO NOT see the filling of the Holy Spirit as a "sign" that God is calling me into the ministry. I NEVER SAID that, and don't believe it, and you are...

Very interesting, but I'm not sure how it applies to the KJV-Only movement.

You're back to this? This is bizarre. Ephesians 5:18 contains a Greek imperative present passive, πληροῦσθε ἐν πνεύματι. Since it is an an imperative (a Greek command), it is a mandate. Since it is present tense, then it is imperfective aspect. It can thus be translated, "Be continually filled...

I think I'm done with the timeline. I'll wait a couple of days and see if anyone adds to it or if I think of an event or person or book that should be on it. Then I'll produce a PDF and put it on here for those interested in a complete copy.

Welcome to the BB. Thank you for your honesty. "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you" (James 4:8).

Folks, you can stand for your convictions (baptism by immersion in this case), and still get along with people who don't agree with you. I have a friend who is a United Methodist pastor from a far country who pastored in our town. We used to meet at a local coffee shop for prayer and fellowship...

Can't we all just get along? Yes, let's all just cast away all of our biblical convictions, and then we can all get along and be happy. :p In fact, let's throw away everything but our soteriology. That would be great! :D (Sarcasm alert.)

You think I made that up?? "According to the Baptists immersion, followed by emersion, is the essential thing in the symbolism of baptism. A surrender of this would be equivalent to giving up baptism itself. The real baptismal idea, they say, is expressed in the going down into, and the coming...

So now you are judging me by what you think I mean. If I never said it and then say that I don't believe it, it is not my so-called "stance." Baptist: "a member or adherent of an evangelical Protestant denomination marked by congregational polity and baptism by immersion of believers only"...

You're twisting my words. I believe that there are many churches that immerse without being Baptist. If I were currently pastoring a church, I would accept immersion from non-Baptist churches. Baptists always, always insist that baptism must be done by immersion. That is simply a doctrinal and...

Last entry unless someone adds something: Present Day 2024—Donald Allen Waite (1927-2024) passes. No one among his followers appears to be able to replace him and lead his branch of the KJV-Only movement, though Kirk DeVietrio is said to be the heir apparent. In my opinion, there is virtually...

You're the accuser. It is on you to prove what you said I stand for. But you can't do it. I dare you, I defy you to prove one single thing you accuse me of from what I wrote on this thread or anywhere else. You can't. I know what I wrote, and it had nothing to do with the positions you ascribe...

Nope, not what happened. It's Darby's theology. There is no evidence of an historical theological connection whatsoever between Margaret Macdonald and Darby. Try Isaac Watts (essay attached). Nope, not what happened. Have you read any actual scholarly histories of dispensationalism? I recommend...

Never said this, don't believe it. Misrepresenting me. Have no idea what you are talking about. This has no connection with anything I wrote. Never wrote a thing about some "legitimate Baptist church." Never said, this, don't believe it. This has no connection with anything I wrote. Why...
