First, there is no right translation. I know there are some KJV only advocates but they are a distinct minority. Other than that they all have their strengths and weaknesses. When doing textual studies, the important thing is going to the Greek and Hebrew sources. I mainly use the NASB to match up with the concordance I use.
As for me personally, I don't subscribe to any particular denomination. I believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, loving God, and treating my neighbors as myself. Anyone who believes that is Christian enough for me regardless of their thoughts about the tribulation, eternal conscious torment, infant baptism, total depravity, predestination and all those other issues. I cannot say that my ideas about those doctrines are fixed.
