That is an interesting quote from WN. It is ironic because he built bridges to what I think were false teachers like the exclusive brethren who held to a millennial exclusion theology which would allow for those practicing sinful lifestyles to enter heaven for eternity. It's probably no coincidence that his disciple Witness Lee went on to practice sins such as money laundering and elevating his rapist son Philip Lee to the head of the ministry office without any repentance.
If only Nee had built bridges to traditional Baptists like Hudson Taylor instead, we may all be in a better place. I am grateful for the western missionaries who gave up their lives to preach the gospel in China and wish Nee would have been grateful.
