How precious is the Name of Jesus to you as a Christian?

The saints in the book of Acts were persecuted because of the Name of the Lord.. calling on the name of the Lord was one of the ways that saul of tarsus identified the believers. What is it in this name that satan wants to utterly blot out? This name that is above all names under the earth..on the earth and in heaven. This name that is the sweetest name on earth... the name that we cry out when we are deepest pit and are rescued. The name that the overcomers in the Church in Philadelphia ( Revelation 3) held fast to and did not deny.
Today we are called CHRIST-ians. Those that are Of and belong to Christ. What does His name truly mean to us. Would we ever deny His name? Would we take the name of another over His. Do we say I am baptist. or wesleyian or catholic or penticostal Or do we just say we are CHRIST-ians.
Share with me.. what is this name JESUS CHRIST! to you:)

Jesus Christ to me means life, God, Lord and Savior. I claim no religion. Religion to me is "man by man's efforts trying to earn the approbation of God through good works" I am a Christian, who is a follower of Christ - - ridding myself of cosmic system thinking and replacing it with Christ-like thought through study and application of His word from the original languages on a daily basis. Becoming Grace oriented as He is and trying to follow His principles as stated in the Bible. There are many who are truly Christians, but never study His word. Without study and application there is no growth. Going to church on Sunday and ignoring Bible teaching the rest of the week will not make one a mature believer. So those who say the are Christians, may very well be, they just may be "baby" believers. Every Christian is at a different stage of spiritual growth and we have to be patient with each and every one as Christ is with us. Growth happens over a lifetime and witnessing through our behavior - - being Christ-like - - is what we are commanded to do. Learn every day. Sinless perfection is impossible, but keeping short accounts, and keep getting up when we fall down is important.

Promises of the Sacred Heart As given by Our Lord to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque 1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life. 2. I will give peace in their families. 3. I will console them in all their troubles. 4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of death. 5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings. 6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy. 7. Tepid souls shall become fervent. 8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection. 9. I will bless the homes in which the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored. 10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts. 11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their name written in My Heart, and it shall never be effaced. 12. I promise thee in the excess of the mercy of My Heart, that its all-powerful Love will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of Nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour. For in depth explanation of these 12 promises, see Fr. Joseph McDonnell SJ's excellent reflections at www.DailyCatholic.org/2005pro.htm Archives. www.DailyCatholic.org

Is there an official protestant rosary prayer, or do people make them themselves?

I have rosary beads but I am not a catholic. I was just wondering if there is an official rosary prayer for protestants as i dont want to use something some1 has just put together themselves unless its jesus himself !
oh and if there is 1, can some 1 teach me how to do it or give me a site that helps me?

Oh, MB, you're an answer to a prayer. This is taken from one of the closing prayers of the Rosary:

"O God, by the life, death and resurrection of Your only begotten Son, You purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech You that while meditating on these mysteries of the Holy rosary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen."

So, clearly, the main point of the Rosary is not worshiping Our Lady, but in allowing the mind to become immersed in the scriptural passages (mysteries, i.e. Annunciation, Visitation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, etc). I would say you don't even have to limit yourself to the traditionally accepted Mysteries. Pick a scene: the entry into Jerusalem, the sermon on the mount, and make that your focus for ten prayers.

I don't know of an official Protestant prayer, but I would suggest this:

Begin with the protestant version of the Apostle's Creed. The Our Father still works, and there shouldn't be a problem with the Glory Be.

If the Hail Mary is troubling, I would replace it with The Jesus Prayer, something the Eastern Orthodox use in with their Prayer Ropes: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me: a sinner."

The Rosary is an incredibly powerful devotion. You're doing a good thing.

God bless

Lady Mary Becomes Pregnant with a Blessed, Father-less Child Mary said, "How would I bear a child? I have not been touched by a man, and I have never been a prostitute." Gabriel said, "This was ordained by God and it is an easy matter to God. This child will be a sign to the people and a mercy from God to them. This is a matter that has been preordained." When he said that, Mary submitted to the ordainment of God. Gabriel blew in the opening at the neck of Mary's dress. When Gabriel blew, the soul of Jesus went into Mary's mouth and into her womb. Gabriel left Mary pregnant, carrying Prophet Jesus. Mary filled her container and went back. Mary's cousin, Joseph the carpenter, was among the most worshipful people. (Of course, this is a different "Joseph" from Prophet Joseph). As days passed, Joseph saw the signs of pregnancy on Mary. Certainly, he saw this as a very serious matter. Joseph did not know how to explain that situation to himself. When he thought to accuse her of fornication, he would remember how pious Mary was. Yet when Joseph wanted to declare that Mary was innocent of this sin, he would see the signs of pregnancy on her. Joseph decided to talk to Mary openly. Joseph said, "Thoughts come to me about you. I have been fighting and rejecting them. However, I have reached the point that I am overwhelmed by these thoughts. This is why I wanted to talk to you." Mary said, "Ask, but in a kind way that does not harm me." Joseph told her, "Tell me, will plants grow ...

In this slideshow, you can see how angels were portrayed in traditional art. It differs a lot from modern depictions, where people (it seems from the 2nd half of the 19th century onwards) give them female breasts (probably reflecting the more gynocentric zeitgeist), while angels in the Bible basically have a male identity.
