I also don't see where Lee provided any basis to support his assertions. What I see as being the key point to Rom 8:16 is the fact that the Spirit Himself provides evidence/proof that we are children of God. Nowhere do I see anything to indicate the word
mingling being applicable to the subject at hand.
So much of what WL taught involved things being taken out of context. A verse that you mentioned, 1 Cor 6:17, is a prime example of something that WL took out of context. If read alone, perhaps it makes sense why Lee would have thought it to support his teaching. If he had considered it in the context of the preceding verse, he might have realized that there was nothing literal about it whatsoever. In verse 16, Paul says that someone joined to a prostitute is one flesh (figuratively). Since he is speaking figuratively then it can only be assumed that being one Spirit with the Lord is meant in a figurative way. There is no reason to add any hocus pocus stuff to it that isn't there. Actually if LCers were to read the Bible thoughtfully, they might realize that Paul was no stranger to using rhetorical devices.
