Is the name of Jesus actually important?

I was thinking about that doctrine Berg got about 1990 or so where he said it really didn't matter if you asked Jesus to come into your heart, for people like the Japanese who knew nothing about sin & repentance & Jesus & God or anything about how we're supposed to live as Christians, just get them to bow their heads & pray, 'Spirit of Light, come into my heart.' And they were saved. Then Jesus (aka Sprit of Light) would come into their heart. Or you could pray, 'Space Prince come into my heart' and you were saved. I suppose with that thinking you could even pray, "Dear High Master come into my heart & you'd be saved." As long as a Christian was praying with you and he could look up to heaven & wink & say, 'He's talking about you Jesus.'
