It is ironic that you would be such a critic of Jewish magic when you're such a vocal proponent of a pseudo-Christian variation of the same thing.

Calling upon the name of Jesus and Jesus then responding is not witchcraft.

Believing that something supernatural cannot act unless you speak specific words and perform specific rituals is the very definition of witchcraft, regardless of what words are said. You're a modern day Simon the Sorcerer.

You have said in the past that God cannot save a person, regardless of their intent, if the correct name/words/ritual is not used by the human beings performing your ceremony. Are you now retracting that claim?

I have always said that God will not save any way other than what is stated in Scripture.

That doesn't answer the question -- he cannot, or he will not, regardless of a person's intent and faith.
Not omnipotent in the first case, cruel and arbitrary in the second -- which do you prefer?

That still doesn't answer the question.
You don't use Jesus' real name for your little rituals, even though you think that you do, and you intend to. Do you think that God doesn't care what your faith or intent is, and he'll condemn you to hell because you used the wrong name?
That's what you teach, and bummer for you if you're held to it. I wouldn't trust liar, plagiarist and bigot Gary Reckart to come up with the real name of the POTUS, much less the real name of God.

Of all the words of power employed in magic since the dawn of time, none is more mysterious and profound than the Ineffable Name of God with four Hebrew letters, IHVH, called by the Greeks Tetragrammaton.
One such Ba'al Shem was the great Jewish magician Rabbi Loew of Prague, who breathed life into lifeless clay by means of the power of the IHVH and with it created the dreaded Golem.

Why do you want to defend a name used in witchcraft that Jesus did not come in? Jesus came in His Father's name which is Jesus.

Are you seriously going to tell me you believe in that baloney about a jewish rabbi bringing a golem to life?
Tell me do you believe in werewolves, sasquatches and the black eyed kids too?

Then you will be condemned, because you are intentionally not doing what you claim God says that you have to do. God's name is not "gee-zus", so you've never been baptized in your "Gary Reckart approved" ritual.
Me, I'll rely on God's love and mercy, not on the works and words of a documented liar.

No, but he has had no shortage of people stuffing words in his mouth and saying it came from him, and you can find that all through the OT.
My point was that the tetragrammaton is used in witchcraft.
The term tetragrammaton (from Greek τετραγράμματον, meaning "four letters")refers to the Hebrew theonym (Hebrew: יהוה) transliterated to the Latin letters YHWH. It may be derived from the verb that means "to be", and is considered in Judaism to be the proper name of the God of Israel used in the Hebrew Bible.

Incorrect! The tetragrammaton is used in Jewish Mysticism, such as the Quablah

Your teachings that Jesus is not God and that salvation by grace through faith is cruel is not Biblical.
