We will have to agree to disagree on this.
I believe the scripture clearly emphasizes the importance of the NAME, not titles. Its not a "technicality".
As for exactly how the "name" is spoken and who does the speaking, I don't believe thats cut in stone. I defnitely don't believe a preacher has to be the one to do it. However, I do believe the scripture teaches the importance of the name rather than descriptive titles that basically represent nothing.
