It was huge, it was transfer from darkness to light, from death to life eternal. I don't want to get hung up on names. Jesus was the name for me.

Aron, absolutely names make us swerve from the target, which is towards Jesus Christ. By our human nature there's some identity crisis which is why there's a need to associate with a group. All I need is Jesus.
