Spiritually, I agree, but practically it should match this spiritual fact. So we should not be in any sort of "ism". If we attend Catholic mass every Sunday for example, we are in Catholicism. We are not just in Christ and "the church" but also in Catholicism. If we are in a house church movement, we are in house-churchism.
We are also in a country with authorities, laws etc, in families, we can be "in ourselves". There's many other things we can be in besides Christ as long as we are on Earth. In future we will be in the New Jerusalem, that's another thing we can be in.
