*'''The Textual Argument''': Adherents believe that the Hebrew Masoretic and Greek [[Textus Receptus]] are the best underlying Biblical texts (as opposed to the Alexandrian-type texts).  However, they too would have no problem with an updated translation based on those texts.

*'''Received Text Only''': Adherents believe the Hebrew Masoretic and Greek Textus Receptus are the supernaturally inspired texts (over others), and refuse to accept any translation not based on those texts.  They, too would not have problem with an updated translation based on those texts, but not on any other.  A notable adherent is David Cloud, head of Way of Life (an Independent Baptist publishing house based in Canada).<ref>https://www.wayoflife.org/about/statement.html</ref><ref>https://www.wayoflife.org/database/king_james_only.html</ref>

*'''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.

As a consequence, many KJV Only advocates (e.g. Riplinger, Ruckman) publicly go so far as to state that if any other translation besides the KJV was used in the soul winning process, then the potential convert was not genuinely saved.<ref>https://www.christianforums.com/threads/incorruptible-seed-or-no-salvation-without-kjv.4519056/</ref>
