There is no other NAME under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved

[TonyChanYT]

Acts 4:

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

What exactly is that name: Jesus, Yeshua, Yahshua, or …?

The spelling of a name is a label. The label itself does not save anyone. The label names a person. By the English convention, this name is often spelled as "Jesus".

Who is this Jesus? That's the important question.

Here is the context:

10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

That's the one. He died for our sins on the cross and was raised from the dead. Chinese people call him 耶穌. This name is pronounced differently by different Chinese dialects. Calling this person's name by your local convention is fine. Jesus knows who you are referring to.
