William P. (Bill) Grady:
Shibboleth: Seven Signs of Pseudo-King James Onlyism
NOTE: Dr. William
P. (Bill) Grady is a former Bible teacher at Hyles-Anderson College,
Evangelist and Pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, Swartz Creek,
Michigan.
Dr. Jack Hyles hired Bill Grady to teach on the faculty of
Hyles-Anderson College. When Bro. Grady came out with his book "Final
Authority" on the King James Bible, Bro. Hyles strongly encouraged
every Christian to read it. In this video, Bro. Grady is preaching at
Clarence Sexton's college on the King James Bible issue, and after the
sermon, Mr. Sexton expresses his disapproval of the sermon, telling
Bro. Grady "I've
managed for 15 years to stay out of this [King James Only]
controversy... you may have drug me into it tonight - for that I'm not
grateful. I want to stay out of it - that's not my fight" It is obvious that Mr. Sexton cares more about
what his Baptist brethren think of him that he is about what the LORD
thinks of him. Since this sermon, Mr. Sexton has come out in support of
Jack Schaap who claims that the "King James Bible is
neither inspired, nor preserved" and "has thousands of errors".
The Jack Hyles Home Page supports Bill Grady - his efforts have
strengthened our belief and trust in the King James Bible. Jack Schaap
has done the exact opposite, placing doubt into the minds of Christians
as to the veracity of the Word of God. We say "Shame on you Mr. Schaap"
and we wholeheartedly say "AMEN" to Pastor Grady!

Peter Ruckman:
Why I Believe the King James Bible is the Word of God
Dr. Peter Ruckman is known for his "pit-bull" style of preaching. Many
believe Brother Hyles was influenced by the King James Only writings of
Dr. Ruckman. In the mid-1990s, in a Saturday night class for men at the
church, Brother Hyles praised Peter Ruckman for his strong stand on the
King James Bible, stating that Dr. Ruckman was responsible for the
movement of many independent Baptists to a stronger KJV-only position.
You can read more about Dr. Hyles' growing convictions on the KJV here:
Dr.
Ruckman has been criticized by many compromising, neo-evangelical
leaning "theologians". They often critique his preaching style as
"crude, rude and mean-spirited", concentrating on his manner of
delivery, rather than the Scriptural truths being presented. One thing
they cannot rightly criticize is his love for God, nor his strong stand
for our precious King James Bible.
It's time that Dr. Ruckman
gets credit where credit is due. Independent, Bible-believing Baptist
pastors owe a lot to this man for waking up Christians and laying the
groundwork for the King James Only movement when it was not popular to
do so.
Gail Riplinger:
New Age Bible Versions (Interview)
In 1996, Bro. Hyles
presented Mrs. Gail Riplinger with an honorary doctorate degree from
Hyles-Anderson College for her work on the book, "New Age Bible
Versions".
After Dr. Hyles' death, the new pastor of First Baptist Church (Jack
Schaap) changed the positions of Hyles-Anderson College in 2009 saying
that "the King James Bible is neither inspired nor preserved" and that
it "contained thousands of errors". Jack Schaap proceeded to
misrepresent Bro. Hyles' beliefs on the Bible, then personally attacked
Mrs. Riplinger for her stand on the King James Bible, claiming "I don't
listen to women theologians and I never will". He proceeded to liken
her to Jezebel.
Mr. Schaap also claimed that he had never read any books by Mrs.
Riplinger and that "Hyles-Anderson College has never, nor will they
ever sell a book written by a 'woman theologian' in the college
bookstore". Mr. Schaap lied: Previous to Mr. Schaap's statement, Hyles-Anderson College sold
Gail Riplinger's book "In Awe of Thy Word" in the college bookstore,
which was required reading for a class on the King James Bible at
Hyles-Anderson College.
In 2008, Mr. Schaap asked church employees Bob Marshall and Eddie
Wilson to personally meet with Mrs. Riplinger in order to get her
opinion on some KJV issues Schaap was uncertain of (in preparation for
his "King James Bible Summit" at the college in 2009). It seems that
Mr. Schaap has no problem lying when it fits his agenda, as he was
certainly willing to listen to this "woman theologian" at that time.
Read more about Mr. Schaap's attacks on Gail Riplinger here:
When presenting Mrs. Riplinger with a doctorate degree back in the mid
1990s, Bro. Hyles said, "A lot of you may criticize me for publicly
honoring a woman in this way. But the truth is that this lady has done
more for our cause than many of you preachers. If more of you would
take a stand on the King James Bible, she wouldn't have had to write
this book!"
So, in honor of Jack Schaap's slander of Mrs. Riplinger, we present
this 3+ hour video, where Mrs. Riplinger was interviewed by an
evangelical TV host. At the end of these interviews, it is apparent
that she positively influenced her interviewer towards a more pro-KJV
position.
