Hi my name is Nadine. I have been a christian since 1998. I recently have been learning some things about origins of christianity and the true hebrew people. I would just like to know how can I be truly saved? I want to know because there are many people I know and for centuries who have calked on the name of Jesus and have been saved from death from many other horrible situations. Some have gone to their grave knowing that name. Many have been prayed for and have been saved from different situations with that Name. Also Jesus ( Yahushua) casted out demons. We are told we can too. The Name many use and that works is Jesus. Do we cast them out now in the Name of Yahushua? I really just want to know because I don't want to go to hell. I want to serve the God (Yah) of Abraham, Issac, and Yacob. Please help! I pray Yah has mercy on me amd heals and restores me and my family and friends. Yah's blessings on you all!

Hi Nadine, it is nice to meet you here, and welcome to the Natsarim family. You are right, denominations and teachers have educated people sufficiently that they have become spiritually blind to the truth in the Scriptures. The challenge to you and all other Natsarim is to re-educate people so that their eyes are spiritually opened.
Where our enemy cannot directly oppress and coerce you with false teaching, he will try to accuse you with guilt, seeking to undermine your confidence with false accusations. You are not alone, we all face the same accusations. But ignore it, he does not have power over you.
Remember the words in the Gospel, 1 John 3:20 “that if our heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all.”
The Father hears everything. He even hears our thoughts (Psalm 139:1 “O Yahuah, You have searched me And know me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought from afar. 3 You sift my path and my lying down, And know well all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But see, O Yahuah, You know it all.”
So the Father hears every thought and prayer, he searches the heart and tests the minds of each believer. If anyone has prayed and worshipped in truth, the Father will have heard that. I think that if anyone has innocently used the wrong name, but intended the Father and Messiah, He will know it.
However, if someone knows better and chooses not to obey the Scriptures, that is a different thing. Proverbs 28:9 sets out that where someone turns from the Torah, his prayer is an abomination, “He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, Even his prayer is an abomination.”
We are told in the Commandments to respect the name of the Father, and I think that means using His Name (Yahuah) and the Messiahs Name (Yahusha) appropriately, and not using what is in effect man-made names or false deity names that bear no relevance to the Scriptures, Exodus 20:7 “You do not bring the Name of Yahuah your Elohim to naught, for Yahuah does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.”
So I think that if you, or anyone else has innocently used the wrong name, but prayed in honesty and truth, your prayer and worship would be heard.
Note - I think that the Yahushua was not the Messiahs name, as Strong's Hebrew: 7769. שׁ֫וּעַ (shua) means a cry for help. The Hebrew meaning of Yahusha which is what I think the Messiahs name is means, “Yah is our deliverer”.
