Joel 2:32 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Jesus came in the name of his God and Father.
John 5:43 (KJV) 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.
John 10:25 (KJV) 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.
Jesus (Yahoshua) is Yahweh"s salvation. That's what his name means. Everything he did, he did as God's agent, with the authority of God, and to God's glory.
So by calling on the name of our Lord Jesus, we are calling on Yahweh God....through Jesus, because Jesus executes the authority of God the Father over all creation after being exalted to this position by God.
The parallel does not mean that Jesus is Yahweh.
