Hi Folks,

Tim, while I agree that Luke's doctrinal warning has little to do with understanding the purity of the King James Bible and the purity of specific editions and I appreciate Matthew's efforts in the defense of the absolute purity of the King James Bible ... one small comment.

There was a large immersionist sentiment, adult baptism, at the time of the translation. One of the better articles on this is on the web.

I'm not saying that this is the complete picture. Such would take more study. There were a variety of views generally on the translation committee, which included Puritans. Also in some cases there is a doctrine that will baptize infants and then baptize adults (I have no idea if that applies here).

As a sidenote, there is a false accusation sometimes made against the King James Bible excellent translation of the word "baptism" (as did Tyndale, Geneva and others) however most of the readers here would be aware that the accusation is a bit on the insipid side.

Shalom,
Steven
