Im new at this Christianity thing, but I like to over reserch anything I do. After reading the prayer request on here I saw something that made me have to ask. Why do we pray "in the name of JESUS" when that isnt the mans name? Jesus is a Greek name, the new testament was written in Greek. It is not a Hebrew name. His name was Joshua (pronounce Yes-hua). Ok you can tell me its the same thing, But My name is Andrew and you wont get my attention yelling out Andres. SOmone explain this to me, and use small words cause im just a backwoods Arkansas hillbilly from the shallow end of the gene pool.
what name where you saved by?

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling
