Scriptures using the phrase "none other name" seem to be quite familiar. So it was surprising to only find it in 3 verses; one each in the New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine & Covenants.

  • Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
  • 2 Ne 25:20 ...behold I say unto you, that as these things are true, and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved.
  • D&C 18:23 Behold, Jesus Christ is the name which is given of the Father, and there is none other name given whereby man can be saved;

Two other verses use "no" instead of "none:"

  • Mosiah 3:17 that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men,
  • Mosiah 5:8 There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ,
