QUESTION:  Someone said, "The King James Bible is the Word of God 
           because I got saved through it!" Is that statement correct?
   
ANSWER:  No.
   
EXPLANATION:  The Bible is infallible and perfect without any 
influence by any sinner.  By accepting Christ as our personal Saviour 
we impart nothing to Scripture, though God imparts eternal life to us.
   
Many have been led to Christ by someone using other versions.  I once 
spoke with a man who vehemently claimed that the Good News for Modern 
Man version was the infallible word of God because someone had led him 
to Christ using it.  Wrong!  His getting saved through a Good News for 
Modern Man did not correct so much as one of the many gross 
inaccuracies in that version.
   
I have a friend who believes the Bible (KJV) to be the infallible, 
perfect word of God.  Yet he himself was led to Christ by someone 
using a Living Bible.  Did the Living Bible become the infallible Word 
of God the moment he believed?  Of course not.  It never was perfect 
and never will be.  But if it did become perfect because he got saved 
through it, would it not have lost its perfection when he chose to use 
the King James?
   
So we see that the Bible, King James of course, is the infallible, 
perfect word and words of God regardless of what someone used to lead 
you or me to Christ.  In fact, it would still be the perfect 
infallible word and words of God, even if we hadn't gotten saved at 
all.
