You've listed your thoughts in a lot of cases. Can you boil that down to some guidelines for how to decide? I'm not sure I'm picking up a clear way to distinguish.
If they say it's the same God, it's enough? If I praise Bill Gates for:

* his ability to bench press 500 pounds
* his waist-length, beautiful hair
* his ability to fly
* his willingness to pay anybody 500 euros for a hug
...am I still talking about Bill Gates? Or am I talking about something else and just reusing Bill Gates' name?
