If I am in a Spanish speaking nation - I would baptize in Spanish.

The fact of the matter is - I, along with most on this forum and most in America and English speaking nations - do not read, speak or write in Hebrew or other languages. I don't care if the J was not invented until 1955 - it was invented before I was born and used in my teaching and vocabulary and I use it every day and so do you so who cares if there was NOT A J a thousand years ago????????????

I have seen multitudes saved, healed, delivered, baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost - All in the Wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and I will continue to use the Name that is above every name - JESUS!

Oh yeah - another thing - Everyone of you guys that start off on this Yaway - Yeshua - YAWH - deal - end up growing a long beard and acting crazy and preaching against the letter "J" and EVERY SINGLE ONE has a different pronunciation or spelling to your particular Y name. You don't speak Hebrew - You speak English - Use the translation of the Name in English. JESUS - NO OTHER NAME I KNOW!
AB you have hit the nail on the head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have yet to have met the first one who could order a bagel or kosher hot dog in Hebrew yet they want to teach me Hebrew. I am a English speaking preacher and not ashamed of it.
