I will have to do some study into that.

But... Does he need a name to be prayed to?

For instance... Father we come to you tonight... etc etc... and we ask these things in the name of Jesus... amen.

You have offered a great thought though... I will do some thinking on it.

And I was always taught that "in the name of Jesus" was the same as "by the authority of Jesus", I've learned that it is a bit deeper than that since, but if praying/being baptized in the name of Jesus means praying/being baptized by the authority of Jesus -- then the same interpretation of "I come in my Fathers name" should be "I come by the authority of my father".
