They are not gospel singers if they don't mention Jesus in their songs

According to Spiricoco, a Christian influencer, it is a must for gospel singers to mention Jesus in their songs.

"They must. They are gospel singers. What is the gospel? That Jesus lived. That Jesus died. That Jesus resurrected. That Jesus saves.

If you say you minister Jesus and you don't mention His name then you don't minister Him," he said.
