KJV defender Bryan Ross wrote: “Matthew Verschuur explicitly connects faith Pentecostalism to the PCE position by framing the reception of the PCE as an act of faith aligned with Pentecostal principles of divine guidance and spiritual authority” (Assessing the PCE Position, p. 28). Bryan Ross asserted: “Matthew Verschuur uses Faith Pentecostalism to support the claim that the PCE is the final, perfect King James Bible by framing its emergence as providentially tied to Pentecostal revival and doctrine” (p. 29). Bryan Ross wrote: “By pointing people to his list of twelve required readings, he makes them the basis for judging if you have a ‘pure’ KJV or not. As it turns out this list is largely based on Pentecostal theology. Meaning that the decision to say a reading was ‘correct’ hinged on which reading better aligned with Pentecostal theology” (p. 35). Bryan Ross asserted: “Bible Protector links the PCE’s correct readings (e.g., capitalization of ‘Spirit’) to Pentecostal theology about the Holy Spirit’s work, claiming that doctrinal precision in the PCE aligns with Spirit-led truth” (Ibid.).
Bryan Ross maintained that Matthew Verschuur’s Guide does NOT identify any specific, historical edition – by year, publisher, printer, or edition code – as the first published PCE” (p. 73). Bryan Ross claimed: “Verschuur himself acknowledges that no single printed Bible contained the exact PCE text, and that the uniform PCE had to be constructed by comparing many inconsistent ‘vintage’ printings” (p. 132).
This edited or revised KJV edition [called the PCE] is the one supposedly protected or guarded by the elders [Craig Savige, Samantha Savige, Matthew Verschuur] of the Pentecostal Victory Faith Centre in Australia. Matthew Verschuur claimed: “As for variations in the Pure Cambridge Edition, these have also been settled and resolved by the Elders of Victory Faith Centre in their apostolic office of the guardianship of the Pure Cambridge Edition” (Revelation of the Pure Word). Concerning this edition, Matthew Verschuur asserted: “It was only identified between 2000 and 2004 by the Christian ministers at an Australian Church, and given that identifying name” (Vintage Bibles, p. 59). Craig Savige wrote: “It is no coincidence that this prophecy [by Pentecostal John G. Lake in 1914] came just after the final edition of the King James Bible—the Pure Cambridge Edition—had come” (King James Bible Only Position). Concerning this edition, Matthew Verschuur asserted: “Its appearance with the rise of Pentecostalism, especially Smith Wigglesworth (1907) is no accident” (Revelation of the Pure Word). Matthew Verschuur declared: “It was divine providence that revealed that God’s chosen standard was the Pure Cambridge Edition” (God’s Chosen Edition). In his conclusion, Matthew Verschuur claimed: “The Pure Cambridge Edition is correct to the very letter, and it is fully God’s will in English” (Pure Cambridge Edition). Matthew Verschuur asserted: “The Pure Cambridge Edition can always be shown to be correct” (God’s Chosen Edition). Matthew Verschuur claimed: “The Pure Cambridge Edition is the exact, correct and perfect text and translation of God’s Word in English” (Guide to the PCE, p. 188). Matthew Verschuur declared: “And it came to pass, in the process of the fullness of time that the Pure Cambridge Edition was the last and final gathering of the words, answering exactly to the heavenly volume of the book” (p. 122). Some of these quotations are from unpaged books or articles posted at Matthew Verschuur’s web site.
