The Southern Presbyterian Church holds exclusively to the use of the King James Version of the Bible,[5] in public worship, and its supreme standard is the Bible according to the 'Received Text' but, according to Ward and Humphreys, "in other respects are close to the PCEA in orientation"[6] with whom it is exploring closer relations.
