John R. Rice and the KJV
- Thread starter John of Japan
- Start date
John R. Rice's Sword of the Lord promoted and published Jack Hyles' books in the 1960s and 1970s. This means that Rice also agreed with Hyles "Let's Go Soul Winning". One of the few disagreements between the two was on the topic of storehouse tithing.
Jack Hyles changed his views concerning the KJV. In his book Let's Study the Revelation, Jack Hyles clearly was not KJV-only as Hyles advocated some readings in the book of Revelation that are found in the Critical Text.
At some point after John R. Rice passed away, Jack Hyles would change his earlier views to a KJV-only view.
But it appears that John R Rice always agreed with Hyles's methods of soul winning, or else they would have never been published.
You seem to be confused. Jack Hyles' new KJV-only view is evident in his 1993 book entitled Enemies of Soul Winning with its fifth chapter being entitled "False Bibles--an Enemy of Soul Winning". This 1993 book was published over 10 years after John R. Rice's death. That 1993 book is not the same as the much earlier book on soul winning published by the Sword of The Lord.
Was often blessed by John R's preaching and his kindness. Not a fan of some of the easy-believism of his theological methods, but a good brother. Sadly, watched another friend, Jack Hyles, go "off the rails". Jack gave me an autographed copy of his book on church administration when I completed grad school.
Sadly, since I was led to the Lord using a 1901 ASV and not the King James, I was lost according to Jack's later defection from the faith.

Did Jack Hyles believe in free grace theology like Dallas Theological Seminary or was it more extreme?
He believed and taught an "easy-believism" of simple faith without repentance or much understanding. 1-2-3 pray after me.
Zeal without knowledge. Thousands "think" they will go to heaven because of raising a hand, walking an aisle, or spouting magic words.
I remember reading where a neighbor got tired of Hyles coming to his house multiple times - he remarked that he finally said the "1-2-3 prayer" - it worked - Hyles didn't come to his house any more!
