No — there is no salvation in any other name besides Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:12 explicitly states that there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Les Feldick teaches that this exclusiveness still applies to our gospel today, and that salvation rests entirely on the finished work of Christ — not on sincerity, works, church membership, or any human addition.
Acts 4:12 — This verse directly answers the question by declaring that salvation exists in no other name and that Jesus' name is the only name given under heaven by which we must be saved.
1 Corinthians 3:11 — This verse shows that no other foundation for salvation can be laid than Jesus Christ, reinforcing the exclusive nature of the only saving name.
Acts 4:12 is the clearest answer: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Scripture does not present sincerity, devotion, morality, or religious membership as alternative routes; it names one name only. First Corinthians 3:11 reinforces this at the level of the foundation: "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." The same chapter depicts believers building on this one foundation, with Christ Himself as the only possible foundation for everything concerning the church age. John 19:30 records the finished work that makes salvation possible: "It is finished." The cross, not any other name or human achievement, is what secures salvation.
Les takes Acts 4:12 as a verse that "still spills over into our Gospel." He emphasizes that the verse is narrow: many good, sincere people follow leaders like Buddha or Muhammad, but no other name can save. Les repeatedly grounds salvation in the work of the cross alone — "Jesus Christ plus nothing, and faith in that finished work." He warns that any fleshly addition, whether circumcision, church membership, baptism, or anything done as part of salvation, cancels the work of the cross because Christ said, "It's finished." He also distinguishes which Jesus must be believed in. The Jesus of the three-year earthly ministry to Israel is not the basis of our salvation; the basis is the same Jesus who went to the cross, shed His blood, was buried, and rose again — now the Lord Jesus Christ. Using the rejected cornerstone analogy, Les points out that builders failed to recognize the stone that should have been the head of the corner. In the same way, people fail to recognize Christ as the only one who makes salvation possible.
Les acknowledges that there are many "good, sincere folk" who follow leaders like Buddha or Muhammad, but he insists that Acts 4:12 is narrow. Sincerity does not create another name under heaven that can save; the verse only gives one name.
No. Les says that anyone doing something to fulfill or add to salvation — such as church membership, baptism, circumcision, or any act done in the flesh — is "lost as lost can be." Adding such things as part of salvation cancels the work of the cross. Salvation is based on what Christ profits us, not on what we do.
Les asks, "What Jesus are you believing in?" The Jesus of the three years of earthly ministry is not the basis of our salvation; that ministry was to the nation of Israel. Saving faith must be placed in the Jesus who went to the cross, shed His blood, was buried, and rose from the dead — the Lord Jesus Christ.
Peter used the Old Testament picture of a chief cornerstone that the builders rejected. Les explains the temple legend of the pre-cut stone cast aside because the engineers and architects did not recognize it. Christ is the rock and the cornerstone of salvation, and rejecting Him in favor of any other foundation is the same error.
The Rejected Cornerstone
Les teaches that Christ is pictured as the chief cornerstone who was rejected by the builders, yet He is the stone that holds everything together and will be the head of the corner.
Acts 4:12 Is Exclusively Narrow
Les directly teaches that Acts 4:12 means no name besides Jesus can save, even for sincere people following Buddha or Muhammad.
Adding Works Cancels the Cross
Les teaches that any human addition to salvation — church membership, baptism, circumcision, or anything done in the flesh — cancels the finished work of the cross.
Jesus Christ Plus Nothing
Les grounds salvation on the foundation of Christ crucified, buried, and risen, saying it is 'Jesus Christ plus nothing, and faith in that finished work.'
Christ Is the Only Foundation
Paul's words show that no other foundation can be laid than Jesus Christ, and everything in the church age — doctrine, practice, and eternal purposes — builds on that foundation.
Which Jesus Are You Believing In?
Les warns that merely saying 'believe in Jesus' is not enough; saving faith must be in the Jesus who died, shed His blood, was buried, and rose from the dead.
Earthly Ministry Is Not the Basis
Les teaches that our salvation is not based on Jesus' earthly ministry to Israel, but on the Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection.
Denominations Cannot Save
Les explains that being in the best denomination is not enough; a person must have personal faith in the work of the cross.
Acts 4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
This is the primary verse declaring that Jesus is the only saving name.
1 Corinthians 3:11: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Paul states that no other foundation for salvation or the church can be laid beside Jesus Christ.
John 19:30: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Christ's own declaration shows the finished work that makes salvation possible under His name.
Psalm 118:22: The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
This Old Testament picture of the rejected stone that becomes the headstone of the corner is the analogy Peter used in Acts 4.
No. Acts 4:12 says there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Les Feldick emphasizes that sincere devotion to Buddha, Muhammad, or any other figure cannot provide salvation.
Les says no. Any work done in the flesh as part of salvation cancels the work of the cross. Church membership or being in the best denomination cannot put you into the body of Christ; only personal faith in the finished work of Christ can.
He meant that salvation is entirely based on what Christ accomplished on the cross — Jesus Christ plus nothing, and faith in that finished work. Adding circumcision, baptism, or any human effort negates the cross.
Les teaches that the earthly ministry of Jesus was directed to Israel and is not the basis of our salvation. Saving faith is in the Jesus who shed His blood, died, was buried, and rose again — the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Old Testament picture, the chief cornerstone was brought ahead of time and the builders failed to recognize it, casting it aside. Les applies this to Christ: He is the stone the builders rejected, but He will ultimately be the head of the corner.
