Mark 16:16

Notice how it is the belief, that is inferenced for salvation, not the baptism. Whether this baptism means the baptism by Jesus , or the church baptism, probably isn't important.
 
Acts 2:38-39 KJVS
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Baptismal is for everyone.

Mark 16:16 KJVS
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

If you believe you will get baptized. If you don't...

As to the op, it would mean Jesus, Jehovah, or God, or father, or even other names.

Acts 4:12 KJVS
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The name is Jesus Christ.

no, the name is the Father's name. without the name Jesus could do no works. jesus didn't come in his own name.


I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

the "name" singular of the Creator, Created, and Creating is not Jesus, nor is it christ. the name was known all around the world in antiquity. Jesus was baptized in that name too. Not his own human name.

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name(exodus 3:14), he gave the right to become children of God--

You don't become a child of God and refuse the name, or not believe in the Name. that is denying the Spirit which created all and that is blasphemy

on the day that Jesus was baptized, was the day that he was recognized as the Son.

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

FYI

from the NIV and ESV

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”[a] And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.

b. Exodus 3:15 The word Lord, when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH, which is here connected with the verb hayah, “to be” in verse 14

more references to the Name

Romans 15:9
and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.”

Hebrews 2:12
He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.”
 
Fool. You cherry pick the bible. You have the right to believe in what you want.

John 5:23-24 NKJV
that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. [24] "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

Acts 4:12 NKJV
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

We can go back and forth all day. I believe in every word of the bible you don't.

i am the son, you forget. jesus isn't God. and you're cherry picking yourself. even jesus cherry picked. no one sits down and swallows a whole meal. they eat it bite by bite. jesus is not God the Most High.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

[ Praise to the God of All Comfort ] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,


Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--

‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”

Of course there is only one God.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. You don't believe that.

I do see the difference. You don't accept the Son. You don't accept the Father.

god so loved the world, he doesn't love parts of it more than another; otherwise she would love some parts of himself and hate other parts of herself.


among also means within us.

again no thing was created that was created without/outside of him.
 
John 1:1,3,5,14 NKJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [3] All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. [5] And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. [14] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Word (God) became flesh. Almighty God became human. And now he is our high priest.

the almighty became everything, is omnipresent



Jeremiah 23:24
"Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?" declares the LORD "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD.

apart from it nothing exists, there is no other. that is panentheism.

Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.


Colossians 1:17
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

again a reference to the name and the omnipresence of Christ as the ALL in all

Matthew 18:20
"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

Psalm 139:7-10
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
