Also, one could just as easily change the last sentence in your quote above to read, "In the Local Church they focus on meetings, trainings, ministry books, and Witness Lee." And despite the truth of that, I would never say that you, or any other believer there, is not in Christ.  |
You are talking about the positional aspect, and you are right. I am speaking of the subjective aspect. "in Christ" means where our focus is, our mind is on Christ. Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, we call His name and pray to him. As per "The Secret of Experiencing Christ - by Witness Lee". All believers have Christ in them, and are in Christ position-ally, but not all believers are in Christ practically, in their minds.
