"I do not at all believe one must learn English or be a King James Bible onlyist in order to get saved and grow in Christ".
Yes you are correct in what you say about salvation.
However, if you do not need to study the KJB to grow in Christ then one could surely make the same application to English translations as well.
I have yet to come across an NIV, NASB, NLT etc user who is straight on their doctrine.
Are we as KJB believers supposed to sit back and not help these folk grow in Christ?
I believe the same applies to those whose first language is not English.
Let me give you an example from the Gdanska Bible. In Job the Polish translators of 1632 have made a mess of LEVIATHAN therefore losing the cross reference to Satan.
So either Bro Riggs has to insert the word Leviathan or the Poles need to go to the Final Authority in ENGLISH. Unless like the NIV, NASB, NLT etc users they must miss out on some doctrinal truth.
