Mega Ditto's on your decision!! And yes, you will have a better chance. I'll never forget my dealings with the Mormons in Texas. When I found out they were young-earther's, we had an instant rapport, and when I whipped out my KJV from my back pocket, they were 10 times more open to listening to me. Alot of 'Arminians and Pentecostals' think that modern Christians use the modern versions, and using a KJV definitely gets your foot in the door. With the negative image of the KJV in the modern church, when you interact with these people, it form a temporary quick bond that can be used to your advantage.

God Bless - Grymir
