If the Father or Holy Ghost separate names there is NO salvation in them. Acts 4:12
Why wasn't their names preached in Acts?????????????????
You know this is the goofiest I have heard.

Hebrews 1:4 does not say He inherited His Father's name, it says He inherited a name that is more excellent than that of the angels. You really should learn how to read the Bible instead of reading into the Bible.
As for one God, even Trinitarians believe in one God. As for Zechariah 14:7, it says, "But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light." You really meant Zechariah 14:9, "And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one." It doesn't say that "There is ONE God and His Name ONE," it says that "in that day" (referring to the last days) the LORD (YHVH) will be (FUTURE EVENT) king over all the earth, that there will be (FUTURE EVENT) one YHVH and that His name will be (FUTURE EVENT) one. Again, you really need to try reading God's word instead of reading into it. Why would there be a need for the prophet to tell us the words of that passage as a future event if it was what was already reality?
As for Philippians 2:9, the Father is obviously exempted just as Paul in another passage said that He is exempted from all things being put under subjection to Christ.
GOD has a name and His only begotten Son has a name. There is not one name for God's fatherhood, another for His outpouring of Himself, another for His holiness, another for this or that attribute of God.
God's name was not preached in Acts, the name of His only begotten Son was preached.
