If you believe that invoking the name of Jesus over someone you are baptizing makes something happen (namely, washes away their sins) then you indeed have turned his name into an incantation.

oh, i totally believe that. call it whatever. but i also believes this provides us only a glimpse, and must be a naive understanding that the Holy Spirit and Christ's many other Titles aren't confined by. i am not qualified to judge whether someone else is lost by virtue of their baptism via titles, or unbaptism, for that matter.
