According to many Fellow Christian believers today, it seems their are more names that we can be saved by but what does the bibe say about this?

In Acts 12: 4 the writer says "Their is NO OTHER name under heaven given among men whereby we must be SAVED".

This only gives the name of the Son "Jesus Christ". Is this scripture denying the Father and Holy Spirit? No

Often when we baptise in Jesus name, some people say we ARE denying the Father and Holy Spirit. If this is Truth, then Acts 12: 4 is also denying them. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not seperate but are One, This is the One True God manifested in Three ways (Not Three persons).

We know their is only One God, This one God is known as the Father to all humanity (According to the OT). This One God who is our Father manifested himself in the Flesh "Jesus Christ". The body of Jesus is where God is. This one God gives us a portion of his Spirit, the Spirit is a Gift and not a thrid person. To God be the glory.

The "NAMES" that i refer to that others go by is Father, and Holy Spirit. Needless to say "These are NOT names" they are titles. When baptism is given, many only look at Matthew 28: 19 as refering to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as bein names. This error is a big deal because they don't pay attention as to how the Apostles went about to carry out "The Great Comission" given by Jesus. Were the Apostles in error? Some actually say they were, Funny how they believe everything the Apostles wrote but not the baptism in Jesus name. Does it matter if you use Titles instead of the One name INTENDED by Jesus? Yes it does matter. Amen

Yes. You mean Acts 4:12

Christian doctrine leaves no room whatsoever for a path to salvation without Jesus. Jesus himself said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Christ never heard the word "Jesus".

Jesus is an English translation of the Greek word "Iseous" which is a Greek translation for several different Hebrew names, the most popular of which is Yeshua.

When it comes right down to it we do not know what Christ's name was. There is a probability that the name is Yeshua, but, we cannot be sure because of the issues around translation.

The word "Jesus" is not some magic word. There is no power in the word. "Jesus" was not Christ's name.

Why uneducated people make such a big deal about the "Name of Jes-us" I do not know.

There is power in Christ. Salvation is through Christ.

I do not see a problem with using the word "Jesus" to describe Christ. I believe God speaks all languages, most of all the language of the heart.

Telling people that if they do not use specific words, like "Jesus", they must not be real Christians is just plain false witness against people and against Christ.

PS: Paul was an Apostle of Christ who evangelized. Paul has many important things to say and while Paul is not Christ and there is no salvation through Paul, we can still learn from Paul, Peter, James, John and etc.

Acts is at best a disputable source of doctrine. It's teachings do not match the teachings of Jesus. Assuming that Acts was written by Luke, a propogandist for Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsis, a Roman agent provoveteur), we know that Luke was writing to help support Paul's highly modified version of Christianity, which was intended to subvert Christianity and remodel it as the foundation for a state religion - an "opiate of the masses" in Marxist terminology.

Do not trusts Acts, or Luke, or anything written by Paul.
