Why not write the Saviour's name in Hebrew, too? After all, that's how it was originally written, right?

Let me tell you, when I first....first...ever walked into a "Christian" church when I was young it was a Messianic Hebrew roots congregation having a Bible study. The Bible study was on "the language of heaven" the teacher was teaching the congregation to speak Hebrew, to write Hebrew, and I was given a pen with a notebook. Mind you I was a first time visitor. So, puzzled, I listened to the teacher as he wrote on the blackboard, and instructed everyone to follow along. I raised my hand and asked "why are we doing this?" He sternly piped up and said "Because when we get to heaven we need to understand everyone." I replied, "won't everyone understand each other?" The teacher now even more upset, with the students following along with their peering eyes at me, said "Because in Heaven everyone must speak Hebrew!!" I thought to myself, wow my goose is cooked, I can barely speak or write English, let alone HEBREW.
