    Bill, you are correct. Michelle's strong, vocal, totally irrational kjvo position causes most of us who are on the historic Baptist side (how's that for an underhanded whack) to disdain her posts in OTHER areas. And that should not be.

    We should not judge that because of strong disagreement in one area that we should assume an adversarial position in all.

    Face it, we're all Baptists here, so there IS some basic agreement! WE are not the enemy. Some doctrinal positions may be attacked but we should be careful to keep the attack at THAT level.

    It's a fascinating fact that people with a strange hobby horse in one area can be perfectly wonderful reasonable, spiritual, helpful people in so many other areas. Sort of helps us understand why God chooses to be so willing to forgive.

    There's no question that the current KJVO myth began in the 20th century, and it cannot be true because of the 1500 years of the existence of the complete Scriptures before the KJV was made, as well as the fact it's limited to English, which is not used by 5/6 of the world, and, most telling, NOT FOUND WHATSOEVER IN SCRIPTURE!. Like many another false doctrine, it has hardened from doctrine to dogma in many of its advocates.

    Other doctrines that have arisen since John's day are Calvinism and Arminianism, representing the extreme ends of the 'free will' spectrum. There's 'regenerational baptism'. There's baby-sprinkling & baptism by sprinkling. And these are just a few, not even counting all the ones found in the pseudo-Christian sects or in the RCC.
