The King James Only movement (also known as King James Onlyism or KJV Onlyism) asserts that the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is superior to all other English translations of the Bible. Adherents of the movement, mostly certain Conservative Anabaptist, traditionalist Anglo-Catholic, Conservative Holiness Methodist and Independent Baptist churches, believe that this text has been providentially preserved as a perfect translation of the Bible into English.
Followers of the movement assert that modern English Bible translations are corrupt, based on a distrust of the Alexandrian text-type or the critical texts of Nestle-Aland, and Westcott-Hort, sources for the majority of twentieth- and twenty-first-century translations. Instead, they prefer the Textus Receptus (which is mainly based on the Byzantine text-type, with some influences from other text-types).[1][2] Some factions argue that the King James translation itself was divinely inspired.
