must “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil. 2:12). As Paul wrote:

Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. —R OMANS 14:4–6

There is one area, however, of concern. There are some within Christian-Messianic circles who are causing quite a division in the body of Christ by saying that all believers must pray in the Hebrew name of Jesus, which is Yeshua . The teaching says that if you do not pray in Christ’s original Hebrew name , not only will God not hear your prayer, but also you are praying in a pagan name! Since we are instructed by Christ to “ask the Father in My name” (John 16:23), then we must understand the name of Christ.
