Again, it's about the person having the authority. To say the authority is merely in the particular appellation turns the appellation into nothing more than a magical incantation and, thus, what one is doing is the sin of witchcraft.

You've answered your own question. Notice "the whole family in heaven and earth." The passage isn't talking about being given a surname (what we also call a last name or family name).

From GOD. Of course, you would have known that from reading the passage in context.

Meaning simply that He came in His Father's AUTHORITY!

Ok, Chan,I have heard what your teaching before.If the name Jesus connected with the Son of God for your salvation has no value,how does a person receive salvation in the word authority or name ? That makes no sence at all.I think your as bad as the trinties who satan has them not using the name Jesus because satan knows there is no salvation in no other,there is no other namd Jesus as the Son of God given under heaven where by you must be saved.Satan knows if you don't use the name you are lost,so he has you very deceived.You must believe in Jesus the Son of God for salvation.There is only One Jesus Son of God no matter how many other people has the name.If the name Jesus is not used in connection with the Son of God for your salvation for you to believe in,you have no salvation.
