Seems to be two Gods, one God on high in the heavens, one God higher than the heavens in heaven. And it seems to be a fearful thing to "fall", from grace, to the God on high in the heavens. For the God(Majesty) on high in plural heavens, namely Jehovah, seems to have law (the law of God), and law worketh wrath, which God hath not appointed us unto; Whereas the higher God in heaven is on a "throne of grace", so namely Grace, where only mercy is obtain-able, and for all, since there is no respect of persons with God.
So, indeed the name of God is Jehovah, but this is the God on high, in the heavens; not the higher God in heaven: higher than the heavens. And of dead/living Gods, Grace is the living God. Of false/true Gods, Grace is the only true God. Of foolish/wise Gods, Grace is the only wise God. Of this/that Gods, Grace is that God. Of high/higher Gods, the God of all grace is higher, the higher power.

The "throne of grace" would indicate who's on the throne. "Ye are not under the law, but under grace" would indicate law as God is abolished, grace as God is better. It's "allegory", with an over-all more-all: "grace is sufficient" (no law req'd).
The "grace"(God) of our Lord JC with you all. Amen.

I am going to include a link to an article entitled, Jehovah, A God Worth Knowing.

I am also going to include an article entitled, God has a Name.
http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2004/1/22/article_01.htm
These articles both take you to your Bible to answer the question about Jehovah and his name.

" I am that I am" is all and one. There are no others. You children of the IDOL "Dollar" seek to blame all others for the evil you do. NO More!!
When the AWAKENING comes, ye shall know this wrath. I pity not any of you who have been lead astray, by the almighty dollar.
Grace, the gratitude of GOD. After SIX days he rested, he is resting still, which has allowed you evolved apes to do as you wish to his beautiful world. His vengeance will be kindled against all you who do not repent, and beg forgiveness.
This means YOU, GodShew too. Your deed will be accounted among the evil, wish such a question as this. You BLASPHEME. You to have fallen from HIS GRACE. You are no longer in his good Grace!!!

There is only one God, which is Jehovah. He just have many characteristics like humans do. God is merciful, vengeful, jealous, loving, generous, caring, graceful, forgiving, all powerful, all knowing, wonderful, and understanding. God extends Grace and Mercy as well as Wrath. They don't come from different Gods but from one. Grace and Mercy comes from the same God, which is Jehovah.

It really comes down to what your religion is and I guess if you believe the bible is inspired by God (Jehovah)...
Isaiah 44: 6-8
6 "This is what the LORD says—
Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.
7 Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
and what is yet to come—
yes, let him foretell what will come.
8 Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?
No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."

Micah 4:5-"For all the peoples,for their part,will walk each one in the name of its god,but we,for our part,shall walk in the name of Jehovah our God to time indefinite,even forever"
Romans 10:13-"For everyone that calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved"
There is no god called "grace" in the Holy Scriptures.
There is only one true God and His name is Jehovah

It is true that the Almighty did not say, "Listen, thousands of years from now when a new language called English comes along, they can pronounce my name as 'Jehovah' and that's fine."
Instead, like with any and every personal name, different languages TRANSLATE personal names to fit their lingual tendencies. George becomes "Hor-hey" in Spanish or "Gay-org" in German and no one gets upset.
It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". If we want a familiar and close relationship, however, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.
The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.
The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".
(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth
(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Please read, You will find my answer to explain alot of your questions.... thanks...
There is only one God, YHWH... He has many names, but Allah is not one of them....
God cannot live with sin, therefore man cannot live in heaven with Him because man is permiated with sin...
That is why God sent His Son ,Jesus, to bear the punishment for the worlds sins that If we accept Jesus as our Savior and repent of our sins we will be saved...
No one can work their way to heaven- it is impossible, We all need Jesus Christ in our lives... He takes away the sins of the world...
"For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith, and this is not of yourselves- it is the gift of God, Not by works, so that no one can boast."- Ephesians 2:8-9, the Bible
It is a choice to accept Jesus or not... so in effect anyone that refuses Christ- God's grace- chooses hell- eternal separation from God... God does not send them to Hell they choose to go there, they walk right into it.... because they denied the source of forgiveness-Jesus Christ- thereby comdemning themselves and choosing to die in their sins....
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."- Romans 10:9-10
So God put the punishment of sin upon Himself so that If we accept His Son, we will be saved... That is love and that is grace...
God is Holy, God is the Father, He is loving He is merciful and He also is the judger of man....
You cannot earn God's love, salvation, or acceptance... it is the gift from Him to you and everyone else... all you have to do is recieve it...
God bless you and your family....
I am praying for you... may God show you the Truth...

not only is that fallacious in the points it makes -- in that it relies on english words, it is false in that it demands that there are separate deities/entities. God is one, and only one. While there are aspects of god, god is a unified, singular deity.

"Grace" is not a god at all, so your entire question doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
