My blog post addresses the O Lord Three Times false gospel. If you read the quote I pulled at the very beginning of the post, Witness Lee never says "Jesus." He just says "O Lord."

Okay, thanks. As UntoHim posted in a new thread about this same teaching, I can see more clearly what you are addressing. I, as others have pointed out, did not experience this specific thing in the LC. Some localities may have embraced this, but where I was (Berkeley in mid-70s & Columbus in the 80s) I wasn't aware of this teaching or practice.
Saying "Oh Lord" three times does not sound like it would be effective toward genuine regeneration, because the believing heart is not necessarily in that, right? Plus, if "Jesus" is dropped from this calling, it could be the person thought perhaps they were calling on "Lord Krishna!"
To be sure, there is salvation in the name of Jesus - calling on the name of the Lord Jesus to be saved is definitely scriptural. And I agree a belief needs to accompany that calling (but I think even the believing is put there by the Holy Spirit who is convicting that person).
