I agree.
If the people that Paul is referring to in 1 Corinthians 11:4 were trying to give a false impression of the only one Jesus, it follows that they were still retaining the actual name of Jesus in their preaching of this
different gospel.
Why would Paul be admonishing the Corinthians of receiving a
different spirit if as you say "the only one Jesus will respond" when using his name? Doesn't this imply a different spirit other than the Holy Spirit is acting through the preaching done in the name of Jesus?
So then, if a different spirit can be imparted through the preaching of another Jesus, all while still using his name in the process, can't a different spirit respond and give a false subjective impression to an individual through a practice such as chanting when using the name of Jesus?
How would you know either way?
