You are talking idealist theory. Until you can demonstrate someone who has achieved what you are arguing for, it's silly to argue for it. What's the point?

It seems you are close to remembering WL's teaching regarding "taking Christ as your person". It wasn't just a matter of looking to Jesus. It also had to do with Jesus looking back. WL identified the Greek word for person with the inner gaze of Christ as in "beholding and reflecting the Lord" via which the believer is transformed. Now y'all please explain to me how this is a shallow, off, or worthless teaching. Tell me that it has no connection with genuine inner Christian life. On the basis of this teaching alone, I think we should not be hasty to throw out Mr. Lee's teaching all together. I'm stating right here that this teaching corresponds with my experience of the presence of God.
