would you be kind enough to answer your own question?
i admit i'm a bit disturbed you place those words in quotation marks...
so, please will you tell us if it matters what Name is used, and what Name you believe should be used, and what happens to people who don't use the Name you believe must be used?
thanks very much.
Will do.
I put Lord and savior" in quotation marks because I use "Ruler and Savior"
So I prayed in the name of Jesus, Lord and God for many years and had prayers answered, while I can prove those are not correct name and titles, the Spirit can make "moan and groans" we can not know, I believe this to mean interpret.
With that said I do believe it to be important to use the proper names because Scripture makes this an issue literally 100s of times. (I will post 2)
Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is
no other Name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Yahyl 2:32, "And whoever will call with the Name of Yahweh will be delivered; for in Mount Zion in Yerusalem there will be deliverance, as Yahweh has said, among the remnant who has escaped of those whom Yahweh calls."
These verses are normally cherished, yet as soon as Yahweh and Yahshua are used they are trashed.
Why is it that it is only a problem if the real names are used?
The letter "J" did not exist until the 16th century, so if I can change Yahshua, why cant I change it to anything? For example: "Confess Bob as Lord and Savior."
Of course that would be wrong, so it can only be a "new" name if its traditionally accepted?
I dont claim to say this or that will happen to anyone for not using Yahweh's or Yahshua's name, but I do believe their names will be revealed to His servants.
Isayah 52:6, "Therefore My people will know My Name; Therefore they will know in that day that I am He Who speaks. Behold, it is I!"
Malakyah 1:11, "For from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, My Name will be great among the Gentiles. In every place incense will be offered to My Name, with a pure offering; for My Name will be great among the Gentiles, says Yahweh of hosts."
Revelation 14:1, "And I looked, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000, having His Name and His Father's Name written in their foreheads."
Proverbs 30:4, "Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound up the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name? And what is the Name of His Son? Tell me, if you know!"
Psalm 45:17, "I will make Your Name to be remembered in all generations! Therefore shall the nations praise You for ever and ever!"
Here is why I dont use "Lord" or "God"
BAAL [BAY uhl] (lord, master) — the name of one or more false gods, a place, and two people in the Old Testament:

BOTTOM LINE:
The pharisees are the ones who started removing Yahweh name, after how bad Messiah spoke of the pharisee traditions and laws I would think most would reject that pharisee tradition, but the vast majority defend this particular pharisee tradition tooth and nail.
We are to worship in truth and Spirit correct?
Why not actually do it and call upon their real names?
Tradition, comfort, habit?
I left all of those behind after serious study. (ps the more I learn the more I realize I dont know!)
