Well he was asking me questions about my faith, and he was asking about other religions. So he asked me why I dont call my God (Jesus's father) Allah..since Allah means God. I didnt know what to say. What should I have said?
I am a non-denominational Christian.

You should say that in your faith, you call God by the name "God," and that you respect his view but will have to agree to disagree.

You should have told him that your Father goes by many names. Allah is a the name that the Muslims give their god. Everyone in this country has a right to their own religion, or none if this be the case. here is a website that may help you to witness to a Muslim if the spirit leads you to do so
God Bless You in your ministry

"Allah" is the name of God in Arabic. You speak English, so you have a different name for the Deity. No big deal.

Allah is usually associated with Islam.
That's all I know.

The person who answered you first is right. You aren't Arab. So you would refer to saying GOD.
