John 3:18
King James Version

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

1 John 5:13
King James Version

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

I don't have a complete understanding about this... what is the name of Jesus? What exactly would be included in this?
I believe that Jesus in Hebrew means Saviour and that Christ means anointed . So Jesus is the anointed saviour promised from the days of Abraham .

It certainly doesn't mean the label by which He is known. Nobody is saved simply by believing that someone living two thousand years ago was called Jesus. "Name" in the bible, especially when talking about God the Father, or God the Son, includes His authority, His power, indeed His whole being. It's a bit like a policeman saying, "Stop in the name of the law!" The law doesn't have a name like Mary or James. It means, "Sop by the authority of the law."

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

ev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God

“For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:8-12‬ ‭


“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭16:31‬ ‭

“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Philippians 2 verses 9-11 ~ God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

“which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:20-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Because of the fact that we are able to trace back to the area Capernaum from the time of Christ and can now comfortably understand the area was merely an uneducated fishing area that basically spoke Aramaic\Hebrew 95% of the time we know that the name the Disciples spoke was Christ is without a doubt Yeshua.

I have noticed in praying for healing, for Salvation, for miracles to happen for other people it happened about 20% when I would say in the NAME of Jesus. But the past couple of years I have been praying in the NAME of Yeshua and have seen about a 70% success rate. And when I examined the 30% I noticed people were healed in the form of going to Heaven or maybe the request was selfish and not according to the Will of God. And this praying in the NAME of Yeshua has been very good against spiritual things and against demonic powers.

So I truly believe using the original form of the NAME is key to fulfilling Mark 16 asking-praying-seeking-doing-laying hands on....etc....in His NAME but using the NAME of Yeshua is a more proper way to pray.

It's a NAME foretold in Prophecy and its meaning connects directly to YHVH or Yahvew\Yahweh.

As far as the Thread title and question are concerned, I believe the OP was inspired by God to create this Thread. In Mark chapter 16 Yeshua Himself instructed us to do things like pray, ask, seek, lay hands upon, command in His NAME. I just feel I have learned personally by experience that the original NAME of Yeshua seems to have more power and be more effective than using the Greek\English name or the translated name.

J=Jesus
E=Eternal
S= Savior
U=Unto
S=Salvation

C= Christ
H=Has
R=Risen
I= Insured
S=Salvation
T= Today

The way, the truth and new life given in the risen life offered everyone to have, Believe, receive and be new in. the love for all given you by God for you. yet it takes willing belief between God and you to eventually see, provided you, me and others continue, do not quit belief he is risen where new life is given free of charge forever and ever, at least me I see I am thankful, beyond measure, and any physical understanding ever.
Col. 1:21-23
Jesus life everlasting for us to be at rest in trust to Daddy's lead through us, in Daddy's Holy Spirit, given us to abide in freely, not having to, deciding to, and one sees new a gigantic difference in performing and really doing, to me at least No more flesh works. God's Spirit work only, at least me seeing this and learning this the difference daily.
The risen Savior, Jesus, we get given Life everlasting to our Souls, flesh nature dead, Yet held alive in the flesh by God for us through Son's done work on the cross first, that took away sin in Father's sight for us the people.
What is left, after the willing Jesus' one time only death that Jesus (past tense) has done once for us all (Hebrews 10:10) that is done (John 19:30) we are forgiven or reconciled (2 Corinthians 5:17-20) We today, presently, know him no more in the flesh (2 Corinthians 5:16)
Read the entire Chapters to get a reality in what is done. for you and all others too thank you
The entire Bible I see is a gigantic love story from God Father and Son to us all to choose to be new or not, thank you
This brought in a Greater covenant, no longer under Law to get, it is now a gift given to those that are sincere and do not care for any self gain in being g given it, that then is given to those that Father knows, New Life as in (John 4:23-24)
(Hebrews 7:11-12) if the first Covenant could make men perfect (Which could not) So Jesus the perfect one, Won for us to go to Father now in the present and daily do so.
Father and Son that Won are One to make us Won with them. It is right over wrong attitude that evil hates and plays mix evil and good, that has got many confused
God himself is Direct current as AC current is not of God to me at least
I see to not alternate sany longe, I see to stand in the freedom loving and mercy given me to love all, in the same freedom and, mercy anyone else?

Or, his Hebrew name was, Yeshua (Joshua) bin (son of) Yoseph (Joseph).

Joshua is a given name derived from the Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‎‎ (Modern: Yəhōšūaʿ), prominently belonging to Joshua,
an early Hebrew leader of the Exodus period who has a major role in several books of the Bible. In later periods,
a common alternative form of the name was Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ‎, Yēšūaʿ) which corresponds to the Greek spelling Ἰησοῦς
(Iesous), from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. from wiki
