Here is the Romans Road - NIV Vs KJB

NIV first

As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one;
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

KJB
Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.


Now, the words are different to some extent. The KJB is perfect, but in here, the gospel is the same, IN THESE VERSES. It makes no difference whether someone hears the gospel from a KJB, from an NIV, in chinese, english, german, japanese. What matters is if the word pricks their heart, and they believe it.

There is a small remnant of old Hylesites from the 80's that still agree with Dr Hyles and Al Lacey that one can only be saved through the King James Bible. Hyles apparently later rejected this view, but it is still evident in his book "enemies of soulwinning".

We are not saved by a Bible. We are not saved by the word, but by the Word.
