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

What Acts 4:12 means

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. It is one of Scripture's most exclusive and most hopeful claims at once: exclusive because salvation is found in Christ alone, hopeful because that one name is freely offered to everyone, everywhere, without exception.

Acts 4:12 in context

11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
