There is a very good reason why one would be hard pressed to find any noted evangelical/orthodox scholar who subscribes to this essential/economical notion as a foundational basis in understanding the nature, character or even actions of God the way that Witness Lee does. The reasons for this are quite simple - it just ain't there in the holy Scriptures. Oh, if ones twists, tweaks and massages the black and white letters and words, well then anything is possible...including that the three Persons of the Godhead become each other

As Evangelical has clearly shown the essential or ontological Trinity and the economical Trinity are theological terms and concepts. They were not invented by Brother Lee. I believe I first read economical in Bunyan's works.
But let's not get hung up on terms. What term do you prefer to describe how divinity entered humanity in incarnation and how humanity entered divinity in ascension? If not "economical" then what term do you offer to describe our God's great doings?
