You have a guy claiming to be a holy man assigning people names?

"Simon, you're the most reliable person I know. You're my rock. I'm going to refer to you as My Rock, because you are my most loyal and stalwart friend."

Huge red flag. Avoid this person at all costs. You are in a ~~profoundly deep, possibly romantic relationship~~ Cult.

Is the guy naming him also claiming to be the messiah? That seems to be the part of the quotation you're missing out on

All while performing bonafide miracles, sure. The pet name for a loved one isn't the problem.

If, two thousand years from now, the High Priestess of the Church of Getting Your Vaccines So You Don't Spread Illness was referred to as "Saint Cuddlebug" I'd consider that kinda sweet, not cultish.

I'm not abjectly religious but I don't believe Jesus ever called himself the Messiah.

No, but this is pretty culty.. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
