Will all glorified children of God take on the title/name of YHWH in the age to come?

Absolutely not! How could they? Common sense dictates there is only one YHWH. Besides that the name Yahweh comes from the Hebrew word for "I am."

This is verified at Exodus 3:13-15, when Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, "The God of your fathers has sent me to you. Now they may say to me, "What is His name?" What shall I say to them?"

Vs14, "And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, "I AM has sent me to you." Vs15, "And God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you." This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.

Now, you made the following statement, "We are told in scripture that after our resurrection, we too will share in the same nature as our master, Jesus Christ, for we will be like him. He is the first of many."

This statemen is also not true. The various verses you quoted to support your statement happens "BEFORE" the resurrection. When one is born again he receives the Holy Spirit of God which like the Apostle Peter stated at 2 Peter 1:4, "by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."

You also made this statement: "What is the difference (if any) between the final ontologies of the Preeminent son of God and the rest of the children of God?"

The main difference is the fact that Jesus Christ has two natures, one of deity on His Father's side and one of human on His mother's side." Mankind has only one nature which is human. You ask for verification and it can be found at Philippians 2:5-10. Also, some of the Apostles like John, Peter, and Paul identified Jesus Christ as God, including Thomas at John 20:28.

John at John 1:1-3, Paul at Titus 2:13, Peter as 2 Peter 2:1. Oh yea, and by Jesus' own Father at Hebrews 1:8. And for the record YHWH is ONE being who chose to manifest Himself in Scripture as three distinct persons. If you want, start a thread on this and I will prove it. I can also prove that Jesus Christ, the Son of God preexisted His incarnation before He became a permanent man.

YHWH is not a title, it is a name.

Exodus 3:14.

So no matter what happens to the children of God, they will not actually become the entity we call God. As such they will not be called YHWH.

Names denote specific beings. Beings do not take on the names of other beings, even if they become like them. When Prince Charles became king he did not start being called 'Elizabeth'.

In Trinitarian theology there is a difference between the begotten Son of God (Jesus) and any status we have as children of God. Being children of God does not make us begotten children of God, nor make us part of the deity.
