I offer my apology here. For some time I have been telling people that BBC was getting away from the KJV. After talking to a former student, I now know that the college is not. Some of the churches are getting away from it, but my answer to that is that they are autonomous. They have that right.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Dr. Bill Monroe is a good, it will never move from that stand under his leadership...though they are not KJVo.

Sorry Bill Monroe is not the leader of BBC. Mike Randall is until Jim Edge is officially anounced. Jury is out on him (read that- I have no knowledge of his Bible stand.) BBC has never been KJVO and struggles to retain KJV status as many of those attending National Meetings lean to the more "progressive side." Most of those that were attached to BBC that were KJV sided with Heartland.

Doctrinal Distinctives
The following distinctives clarify the historic Baptist Bible College position (given the current nuances of theological thought). It is expected that the graduates will uphold both the doctrinal statement and these distinctives.
1 We are historic fundamentalists rather than neo-evangelical.
2 We are separatists rather than ecumenical.
3 We hold that revelatory and sign gifts have ceased (e.g. apostleship, tongues, and the interpreting of tongues).
4 We hold that Christ died for everyone and this atonement is unlimited.
5 We hold to classic dispensationalism as opposed to progressive dispensationalism.
6 We hold to a literal premillennial return to and reign of Christ on the earth and a
pretribulational rapture as opposed to post-tribulationism or mid-tribulationism in
our eschatology.
7 We are committed to the concept of a literal hell rather than the conditional, metaphorical, or purgatorial view of hell.
8 We hold to exclusivism (for someone to be saved, he/she must be exposed to the gospel) rather than inclusivism or pluralism. (Inclusivism holds that one can be saved without hearing the gospel. Pluralism holds that Jesus is one of many saviors.)
9 We are committed to a literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic rather than a reader response hermeneutic.
Approved Bible Text
1 We agree God inspired the Bible in its original languages.
2 By the 16th century, Wycliff and Tyndale had both translated the Bible into the
English language. These were both considered acceptable translations.
3 Through the efforts of the King of England, a new English translation was placed into the hands of common man.
4 In time, the changes in word usage and punctuation necessitated several revisions.
5 We believe our students should be undergirded by an unshakable faith in the Word of God.We believe the King James Version is God’s Word kept intact for the English-speaking people.
6 This statement does not preclude the study of the individual Greek and Hebrew words in the original languages for the clarity of meaning.
7 The Textus Receptus is the approved Greek text of our curriculum

While attending the school in the early to mid 80's this was not the position of the school. If this is currently the position of the school it would be a slap in the face to Noel Smith and numerous other professors who have taught at the school. It also would show severe inconsistency between many considered leaders in the BBFI and the statement made. It also would be different than what Mike Randall stated in the Tribune a couple of years back saying he could not agree with the KJV because he belived there were mistakes in it.

Don't know about all that. Just know what the website says... When I attended there in the 90's, I seem to remember pretty much the same stand re: the KJV.

As a current I can sya without a doubt that in all of my classes a KJV Bible is required. All papers turned in where the Word of God is quoted are to be quoted from the KJV. Whether or not that means I attend a KJV only school is up to you to say.
I have been currently looking at the school for my graduate work and have spoken with the dean on this issue. The 9 distinctives and the translation atand apply to the school only. No one can take an official stand for all the BBFI churches. This would go against the indepedent Baptist belief of autonomy of the local church. Being a part of a fellowship is not the same as denominational authority.
