You made a great point about the bumper sticker. I learned once that the Egyptians taught thousands of years ago that if you know the name of a god you can manipulate him and his power. Charismatic Prosperity Theology groups are always claiming Jesus name and use it in that way. I even heard Kenneth Copland explain using the name of Jesus as part of his name it and claim it theology.
On a side note, El Shaddai is the name of a Roman Catholic Charismatic group started here in the Philippines and is now world wide.
