Jesus opened the understanding of His disciples, that they
might understand the scriptures...
"And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it

nations, beginning at Jerusalem." - Luke 24:46-47

every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38
Paul spoke to the church at Corinth...
"And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye
are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:11
"Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were
ye baptized in the name of Paul?" - 1 Corinthians 1:13
The angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream saying...
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." - Matthew

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -
