*'''The Inspired KJV Group''': Adherents believe in "double inspiration" (i.e. both the Hebrew Masoretic/Greek Textus Receptus and the KJV are supernaturally inspired). Their view can be summarized as "The KJV Alone = The Word of God Alone". Unsurprisingly, they do not believe any updated translation is needed. [[Gail Riplinger]] is a notable adherent.

*'''The KJV as New Revelation''': Adherents believe that where the KJV differs from the Greek/Hebrew, the differences are "advanced revelation". This view is commonly referred to (sometimes pejoratively) as "Ruckmanism" after its founder, the late [[Peter Ruckman]]. As with the Inspired KJV Group, they do not believe any updated translation is needed. This group is highly vocal of their viewpoint, often dominating KJV discussion groups on social media.
