Do you use the Sacred Name of God?

Posted in | »

Scripture tells us to sanctify the name of God and not to take the name of God in vain. In our desire to keep these commandments to the fullest we refrain from using the personal name of God. Rather, we choose to use several other Names and titles. We believe that this was the practice observed by YeshuaThe Hebrew/Aramaic name of Jesus of Nazareth. (lit, "salvation") and the early believers.

In respect for this community ideal we ask that persons attending our fellowship please refrain from speaking the personal Name of God aloud during times of corporate worship. If it is your personal conviction that the Name should be pronounced aloud, but are willing to refrain from doing so within our congregation, then you are certainly welcome to worship, fellowship and learn with us.

For more information about why we don't use God's personal name, please see this PDF document.
