The problem that I see with Lee's "in Christ" formula as a replacement for the natural, and a gateway into the divine, is that in his hands it is subjective, and unverifiable. If Lee said something was "in Christ" or "in Spirit" then it was; if he panned it as natural or fallen it was. Because Lee said so.
The whole thing was a cofidence game. He was confident that he was right, and sold it to us (literally), and we bought his confidence as if it were our assurance, or foretaste, of God's coming glory. But it wasn't. It was just a natural man, doing his best to make his way in the world, in this case being a merchandizer of the Word, and de facto God on earth (Deputy God) to a small band of confused Christians.
