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.

Well, if we agree that how it's spoken and who does the speaking isn't cut in stone, then we seem to agree more than you may think!
