Is the KJVO Movement Dying?
One thing a movement absolutely must have is leadership, and I believe we are seeing the old leadership die off, with no coherent young leadership to take over.
First of all, Peter Ruckman kicked the bucket in 2016, and I'm not aware that a leader of similar abilities has taken over that ministry. The Bible Baptist Bookstore website still has the information about Ruckman's funeral (https://store.kjv1611.org/about-dr-ruckman/), so that page at least has not been updated in 8... -

God's Gift of Faith
GOD'S GIFT OF FAITH
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
A while back I took notice of a back and forth on social media concerning faith. What caught my attention was a fellow of my former religious denomination arguing that faith is not a gift. He was adamant in his assertion, without giving an inch.
That got me to thinking and it became obvious that he couldn't hold any other position and remain consistent in his... -
Layman's Understanding of Biblical Doctrine
Of God and the Holy Trinity – One God in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19
Of God's Decree- God before creation chose to bring about creation for the purpose of creating mankind for His glory, Isaiah 43:7
Of Creation –In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, Genesis 1:1
Of Divine Providence – God made everything and sustains everything and brings about the conditions useful for His purpose of creation, including altering the course of human events... -
Study of John 3:16
Baptists are split on the specifics of John 3:16. When I was young, and the "Bible" was the KJV, we memorized the verse this way: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
1) The first issue is that some thought the verse was saying how much God loved. Now scholars translate the verse to indicate the idea is how or in what manner God loved.
2) Next, the translation of Kosmos (G2889) as world... -
Time of Creation
When does the Bible say people were created: Less than 7000 years ago? More than 13,000 years ago?
When does the Bible say the earth was created? Within a few days of humans being created. Several indeterminate periods, possibly thousands or millions of years long, before humans?
The answers are not blowing in the wind, but are made clear in scripture. See Job 38 for the answer.
If we estimate the generation time span for all the generations, listed specifically in scripture, from Adam to... -
What the Nicene Creed is and isn’t etc..
The Nicene Creed isn’t like a confession that denominations make to profess their distinctive doctrines, yet not be so alien as to disqualify from general Christianity.
The Creed is what unifies but also decides who is Christian in the first place. You believe it, you are Christian according to Nicene Fathers, and if you don’t believe it in part or whole, you are not a Christian according to the Fathers.
This is far more serious than a denominational confession, it is the core belief of... -
The BEST argument against Calvinism . . .
About 25 minutes -
The Son of God has always been the LORD God.
The Lord Jesus Christ has always been eternally Yahweh, co-equal with God the Father, being God the uncaused Creator on behalf of the Father. John 1:1-3, . . . the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Ephesians 3:9, . . . in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: . . . -
