I am compiling a timeline of the KJV-Only movement. I will post what I have up until 1970. Feel free to add dates, disagree, etc. Also note that this is designed to be an historical study, not a discussion on the merits of the movement. I will ignore posts that go the wrong direction on this.

My view is that the quote of Enoch in Jude is not necessarily original with any so-called book of Enoch. Jude says nothing about a Book of Enoch, but only gives us the prophecy. It could have been oral, passed down in Israel for centuries. It could have then been added to the "Book of Enoch"...

Historically (until 1970) fundamentalists have acted against liberal Bible translations like the RSV and the TEV rather than specifically standing for the KJV only. Thus, a KJVO position is not part of original fundamentalism. On another note, I once heard a prominent SBC pastor say that to...

As usual, Dr. Bauder hit the nail on the head.

Back to the OP, there is a similar problem in other countries. Japan right now has such a dearth of pastorals that they have coined a new term for it, muboku (無牧), meaning of course "no pastor." We have a former CEO in our seminary who is planning to go back to his country to evangelize, plant...

Tell you what, I'm just going to join kyredneck and put you on ignore. He probably did it for some of the same reasons I am going to: you are not a Baptist (and thus shouldn't be posting here, but you decided to disobey the rules), you make false accusations, you write very long posts that are...

"Sign" and "evidence" are two entirely different things. You've been saying that I believe there are signs of the baptism and/or filling of the Spirit. Stop saying that. It's not true. If someone claims to be filled with the Spirit but never witnesses for Christ or gives out a tract or goes on...

This is a word salad. I don't even know what you are saying here. If you think I identified with some kind of apostasy, what did I say? Quote me and prove it.

I see. So you are the one who gets to define apostasy. The word "apostasy" occurs nowhere in the KJV. The Greek word from which we get the term is apostasia (ἀποστασία). The Friberg, Friberg and Miler Greek lexicon that I use most defines it: "a falling away, defection, apostasy; in the Bible...

I have not posted anywhere here comparing water baptism with the baptism of the Spirit. I will only say they are two different things. You are guessing at what I believe about that. You are completely speculating about what I believe, if not lying. I am not a Charismatic and I am not a...

I don't blame you at all. Part of the freedom of being on a board is choosing what you respond to, and indeed who you respond to.

Friends on the BB, you know me. This is the first time in my entire life I've ever been accused of being an apostate, let alone here on the BB!! :( And I haven't even figured out what this guy, ChristB4Us thinks makes me apostate, or indeed what he thinks apostasy is! :D This is really weird...

You are falsely representing me here. I said no such thing, nor do I believe it.

I'm going to be gentle here and assume that you just don't know what apostasy really is. You are accusing me of being lost and against Christ. The word in the NT simply means a "falling away," and refers to someone who once claimed to be a Christian but was never truly saved, and has turned...

I appreciate your friendly attitude, but you made a bald statement about tongues in your OP, and that is generally considered fair game for discussion on a debate board. However, I will respect your wishes and not go further on this with you, though someone else has mentioned it and I will...

I deny emphatically that speaking in tongues is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The evidence of the baptism/filling (same thing) of the Holy Spirit is not tongues, but boldness for Christ. Acts 4:31, "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled...

I don't "seem to" define baptism as meaning only immersion. You are not paying attention to what I am saying. Every single Greek-English lexicon or dictionary I have (and I have a dozen or more since I teach Greek and am a translator) defines the Greek baptizo, from which we get the English word...

It's hard to answer this without knowing what you believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is. It's actually a rare term in Scripture. I believe, following R. A. Torrey and others, that it is the empowering for service--the Holy Spirit gives power to serve God. It is one metaphor of several that...

I completely agree! Some of the characters already in the hall were miserable human beings, but they stuck them in anyway. Charlie Hustle made some mistakes, but not as bad as some. The Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is an awesome place. Ever been there?

I'm aware of that interpretation, and sounds like the pastor did a good job. I'm of the view that Ahaz didn't have to understand the prophecy, and probably did not, since he was a wicked man. And I also believe that there was no fulfillment of the prophecy in the time of Ahaz, because there is...
