Peter had the following words to say to the rulers, elders and scribes in Jerusalem regarding the healing of the lame man at the temple : >... the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ... neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. > >[Acts 4: 10, 12 KJV] What is understood by Trinitarian Protestantism that salvation is by the 'name' of Jesus Christ and, more specifically, by the name 'Jesus Christ of Nazareth' ? Do Protestants understand that this is a matter of 'identification' possibly, or a matter of 'location', that is to say identifying and locating God himself in his manifestation in the Person of the Son of God ? Is this, according to Trinitarian Protestantism, a matter of identifying and locating the one true God that one might call upon **him (and him only)** for salvation ? It is noticeable that the apostle does not say 'Jesus Christ of Bethlehem', but 'Jesus Christ of Nazareth'. Does Trinitarian Protestantism have any light to shed upon this ?
