If you like the KJV please explain your ecclesiology.

If you like the KJV please explain your ecclesiology. Does your church have a bishop, elders, deacons, anything else?

I'm not a KJV only person, but from the ones I've talked to, they think it's the true translation and point out errors in other translations to back them up. I think most of these people are Baptist but I could be wrong?

I'm not sure how the two are related. I like the KJV because there are times I appreciate the language in it but I don't use it exclusively by any means.

It's not really relevant to my preferred Bible but my most recent church had some kind of bishop, we got rid of the elders and deacons and ended up with a slimmed down leadership structure that isn't working at all well, in my opinion.

I mentioned bishops because the KJV has three offices in its ecclesiology

1. bishop
2. elder (priest)
3. deacon

Most are Baptists and Baptists have a pastor, maybe some deacons, and rarely some elder(s) which are of the same rank as the pastor but under his authority.

They are nearly all Baptist, or Baptists that are pretending to be non-Denominational. Some are (interestingly) also Reformed Baptists.

Sure, I guess if a church specifically used the KJV it would make sense to check their offices against what the KJV teaches. I'm not sure how me liking the more formal structured language of the KJV relates to what offices my church uses.
