Yes, most would argue that the word is the same but the concept is different. So, is it then the same God or a different god. Really the heated discussion of "Do we worship the same God as the Mslms or a different God" are not really productive (about as productive as the similar argument of whether the arminians worship the same god or an idol) and can be either answered YES or NO truthfully depending upon the qualifications one uses. Sometimes we try to be more strict and precise than the writers of the NT were.

We had an independant baptist group come here and try to change the translation and try to replace all the occurrences of ALLAH with JEHOVAH, but this was not received well by the Christians and they were seen as cultish. Others, in a zeal to stress that Jesus is divine, stress that Jesus is Allah, and use a phrasing that even Paul does not use (Paul only calls the Father God it seems and Paul calls Jesus Lord).
