The underlying teaching of the Word of God is that only Jesus can rebuke the devil. Jesus is the only one who has authority and power over Satan. This is evidenced by Acts 19:13-20 - some traveling Jewish exorcists tried to use the "formula" that Paul was using by casting out demons in the name of the Lord. The demon jumped on them and beat them up and sent them running out naked. "Jesus" is not a mystical name that one uses to have power and authority. In fact, as Jude demonstrates, a person (or spiritual being) shows that they have the power over Satan by turning him over to Jesus to deal with. We have to remember that we are to "resist the devil," not fight with him (James 4:7; Ephesians 6:11, Ephesians 6:13). Satan is already defeated.
