We pray in Jesus' name because He is the only way to God. There's a lot of religions in the world and most leave Jesus out of their doctrine. Some may have a belief in god or the God of Israel. But if they've left out Jesus Christ then it's all a waste. There is no other name given other than Jesus Christ in order to be saved. Not all roads lead to heaven, only one and its thru Jesus Christ. Believing in God, Buddha, Allah, Mohamed or anything else will not be accepted in the end. Mat 28:18, John 3:35, John 17:2 Nothing else can or will be done in order to make a new way into heaven. Only the spotless lamb of God, Jesus Christ will be accepted. God's name and Jesus' name is commonly used as a byword and used loosely. It's not a message of hate but a message of love that Jesus Christ loves your soul and wants to see you saved and in heaven. The heavens and earth was search for a worthy sacrifice but nothing was found but Jesus Christ. Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto Jesus and Him alone. No one will know God or Jesus until Jesus reveals Himself to one. If Jesus Christ does not reveal Himself to one then they can not be saved no matter what prayer they pray or repeat, no matter the church they become members to or what man or woman speaks over them.
