When you typed that verse, Falla, did you invoke the name "Jesus" at every keystroke ... if you did not .. then using your prooftexting and hermeneutic you've disobeyed this command ... You can't have it both ways.
Doing things in His name has a long tradition in Scripture ... in the OT as well and it was never in the Hebraic mind ... about getting syllables of a proper name ... correctly ...
The power is not in adjuring the proper name ... if so then the sons of Sceva would have been successful ... it's about the power and the authority given by the person of Jesus Christ.
Pull up all the verses that deal with in the name of the Lord, from the OT onward, and you will see a consistent thread and pattern as to its meaning ...
Again, no bible for this doctrine.
