You make some good points, and he makes some good points. Neither are fully correct. Balance and nuance is necessary. I believe Lee is wrong to say "we don't need doctrines" because the Bible is just chock full of doctrine
You are wrong for implying that calling on the Lord is erroneous. It's clearly not
He is right in saying that exercising the spirit is a wonderful way to "open the window" to contact God, and I am happy to hear him say something along the lines of "what if we just called on the Lord for two hours." That would be lovely. Exercising the spirit is a wonderful way to contact God, and we can do that by calling on the name of the Lord. Wonderful, correct, and one of the best habits a believer can practice. Does that mean we throw out doctrine? Nope! He's wrong for saying that and imbalanced
So if his teachings are not balanced then it lends to extremism and we have seen the fruit of extremism in the LC. Of which I don't agree with. But, we can't throw the baby out with the bath water
