Replacing the Name . . . ?

Deu 18:5 “For יהוה your Elohim has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to serve in the Name of יהוה, him and his sons forever.
Deu 28:10 “And all peoples of the earth shall see that the Name of יהוה is called upon you, and they shall be afraid of you.
2Ch 7:14 and My people upon whom My Name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I shall hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
Psa 61:5 For You, O Elohim, have heard my vows; You have given me the inheritance Of those who fear Your Name.
Psa 91:14 “Because he cleaves to Me in love, Therefore I deliver him; I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
Psa 118:26 Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!1 We shall bless you from the House of יהוה.
Isa 43:6 “I shall say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth –
Isa 43:7 all those who are called by My Name, whom I have created, formed, even made for My esteem.”
Isa 52:6 “Therefore My people shall know My Name, in that day, for I am the One who is speaking. See, it is I.”
Mic 4:5 For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his mighty one, but we walk in the Name of יהוה our Elohim forever and ever
Mic 5:4 And He shall stand and shepherd1 in the strength of יהוה, in the excellency of the Name of יהוה His Elohim. And they shall dwell, for at that time He shall be great, to the ends of the earth
EVERYONE who chooses to believe YAHUSHA died for them and joins in the covenant with YAHUAH is expected to learn and abide by His House rules, Torah (the first five Books of the Bible which contains all of YAHUAH's Divine Instructions in Righteousness)...." Same Creator; same rules; no exceptions.
There's more to having a relationship with YAHUAH than just "believing in YAHUSHA." The thing is, our Creator has some rules to follow, and if we refuse, then we don't belong to Him.
What did YAHUAH say about WHO are His people? He gives three requirements in Isaiah 56:6-8...To love His Name, honor His Sabbath and keep His covenant (Torah):
Isa 56:6 “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant –
Isa 56:7 them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their slaughterings are accepted on My altar, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
Isa 56:8 The Master יהוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.”
