Great question! This is why I think Witness Lee's rhetorical question (are there two spirits that give life?) is really one of the worst cases of "asking the wrong question" that a Christian teacher could possibly make. And it wasn't as if he only made this error of circular reasoning just once or twice...nearly every time this verse came up he asked the same old lame rhetorical question.
As I have previously noted, the proper retort to this question is to answer his question with another question: "so, EVERY TIME the bible uses the word spirit (Greek: πνεῦμα,) it is referring to the Holy Spirit?" Of course this is the just the opening salvo to punch the first hole in Lee's teaching regarding 1 Corinthians 15:45
