And it seems most apparent in scripture that man has a spirit and by the new birth our spirit is regenerated with His life. And that we are one Spirit with Him. (1 Cor 6:17)
I learned about having a spirit and that Christ was in me from the LC (circa 1974). Now days I seldom hear anyone in other Christian groups talk much about the importance of "Christ is you, the hope of glory." (Col 1:27) But if this not the New Covenant, then what is? And, of course, many might acknowledge that Christ is in the believer, but then approach the whole New Covenant in a largely outward, Old Covenant way of buckle-down performance, which is simply legalism.
So here's the main question: Are there Christian groups or speakers out there who emphasize the indwelling of Christ in our spirit - and that the Christian life is impossible to live apart from Him living in and through us?
(and of course I know the ramifications of how LSM took things to an extreme and abused the truth of this, and how the resultant legalism has suppressed the Holy Spirit there, etc., etc.)

Mary E McDonough penned a treatise that Is so similar to Lee’s teachings on this topic that it appears he based a lot of his teachings on it:

Major Ian Thomas also used the three circle tripartite man illustration, but his ministry was quite different than Lee’s. Here is a Sermon index

He came to my community church in 2005, and I asked him if he knew of Lee. He did and said “he was a sheep stealer” as a congregation he was ministering to in Colorado had been attracted away to follow him.
But, while I hear much about Christ in me or you in community church circles, there is not much on The Spirit in our spirit as Lee so over-emphasized.
I’ll be interested if contemporary teachers not influenced my Nee or Lee teach on this topic.
