Although people may be saved by them, do they grow from them spiritually? I would seriously doubt it, all the present day heresy particularly lordship salvation stems from modern translations. You are right we must stand for the word of God, we must show brethren of the contradiction and wresting of scripture in the so called versions, but if a brother listens to the truth of modern versions and the perversion of doctrine and chooses himself to carry on using it, then I guess its up to The Holy Spirit to convict. We have done our job to plant the seed. Show me one person that will stand for a modern version as the word of God, Like any of the blessed men who stand for the King James Bible. There aren't any. I left a Church that promoted the NIV because I felt alienated, I was made to feel almost like a cultist because I didn't believe in modern translation, but Gods Grace showed me that It was the right thing to do, to stand for his word in an age when its so blatantly misused,and I left, I lack the fellowship that I need of Fellow KJV believers PHYSICALLY but I know that I am in good company on this site, with noted exception. And as brother George assure me in another post I will find that fellowship in Gods time.
All we can do is to continue to stand for it, fight for it and die for it as many great men have done throughout history.
In My Saviour's name THE Lord Jesus Christ.
