Because my brother...the Name of Jesus is SACRED, PRECIOUS, POWERFUL, SALVATION, HEALING, GLORIOUS, DEMON CASTING....etc,

How can ANYONE refer to the Name that is above every name as MAGIC or MYSTICAL and say they are walking in the Spirit? Look at this verse...
Phil 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;


I heard a man once call the Name of Jesus "our little magical formula" in a water baptism debate(he was baptist). This sent cold chills down my spine!!!

You are essentially saying the same thing, yet you are Pentecostal. Sorry bro., calling the name of my savior "magic" or "incantation" or "mystical" or any other derogatory term is not a good position for a Christian to take.
