Truth Shall Set You Free

Truth shall spring out of earth;
and righteousness shall look
down from heaven. Psalm 85:11

 Verbal Plenary
 Preservation - Perfect
 KJV-Onlyism is a false
 witness that sows
 discord among brethren
 (Prov 6:19)

 The Perfect KJV (KJV-Onlyism, KJV Onlyism, or KJVO) heresy is an abandonment of the Historic Reformed Faith and the Westminster Confession of Faith and comes in two forms: –

·         Ruckmanism, which holds to an inspired 1611 translation (“double inspiration”) resulting in a perfect English Bible.  Where there is a discrepancy between the English and its underlying Hebrew Masoretic or Greek TR texts, the English is to be taken as more correct!?

·         Verbal Plenary Preservation, also known as KJV-VPP or VPP-KJV, which holds to an inspired perfect textual criticism or recognition in 1611 which restored the Hebrew and Greek text of the KJV to be jot and tittle identical to the Divine Original Autographs!?

Ruckmanism and KJV-VPP are estranged twin sons of Benjamin Wilkinson, a leading Seventh Day Adventist who wrote “Our AV Vindicated” in 1930.  Wherever it has gone, in whatever circles, Perfect KJV Onlyism has wrecked havoc and caused discord among brethren.

Far Eastern Bible College (FEBC) has sadly not only adopted, but now champions this false Charismatic post-canonical inspiration doctrine.  FEBC cannot prove KJV-VPP – they cannot even convincingly and consistently identify the Hebrew-Greek underlying texts – but they call all who do not hold their views, “Neo-Fundamentalists”, “Neo-Evangelicals” or lacking in saving faith.  In this website, the KJV-VPP heresy is exposed and refuted with clear evidential facts and sound biblical exegesis!  It is our humble, earnest prayer that the Lord would be pleased to deliver His people from this divisive “doctrine”, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Original 1981 BP Synod Statement

STATEMENT ON THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE HOLY BIBLE

(Adopted by the Synod on 26 October 1981) 

1.             We the members of the Synod of the Bible-Presbyterian Church at its meeting on 26th October 1981 hereby unanimously re-affirm before God our unswerving loyalty to the Bible, the inspired, infallible, inerrant and unchanging Word of God.

2.             We note that ever since the founding of the Bible-Presbyterian Church of Singapore and Malaysia in 1950, this Church has recognised only one, the Authorised Version or King James Version, as the official Version to be used for public meetings.

3.             This Synod is of the persuasion that among English Bibles the AV or KJV is as yet unsurpassed in accuracy of translation, dignity of language, beauty of phrase and idiom, and faithfulness to our Reformed Protestant heritage.

4.             This Synod regards the AV or KJV as a bulwark against the dark forces of ecumenical church union, and a major obstacle in the path of the current Romeward Movement of the Protestant Church.

5.             This Synod, therefore, reaffirms its continued usage of the AV or KJV as the version to be used by all Bible-Presbyterian leaders and SS teachers from our pulpits, and as the version most eminently suited for the upholding of our Bible-believing, fundamental and separated testimony.

6.             This Synod recommends that for collateral reading and reference, in particular by serious students of the Bible, these newer versions may be used: (a) the New International Version and (b) New American Standard Bible. However, these should not displace or replace the AV or KJV.

7.             Finally, this Synod solemnly warns all Bible-Presbyterians and believing friends against the use of unfaithful versions of the Bible, in particular those which have the characters of a “Common Bible,” or ‘Ecumenical Flavour” or “Romeward Bias.’ Specifically we warn against the use of three particularly corrupted versions, namely, the Revised Standard Version (RSV), the New English Bible (NEB) and the Good News Bible or Today’s English Version (TEV).
