[UntoHim]

My brother Evangelical. I want to commend you for all your efforts in this thread. If nothing else, you've represented the Local Church teachings regarding this matter to a tee.

I'm sure you're familiar with our Lord's "High Priestly Prayer" in John 17. In a portion of this prayer to the Father, the Lord Jesus used this term "your name" several times. I cannot recall what Witness Lee taught regarding this, maybe you can recall. Nevertheless, I'm more interested in what YOU think the Lord meant. What name was he referring to?

I'm not saying that I have some totally definitive answer to this, only that I think it is very relevant to the question at hand.

v6) I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
vrs11,12) Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me.

Take your time, think about it.
