I was thinking, is this vision worth the split or distance the lc from Christianity? What's the special vision or revelation that the Lord has given to Nee and Lee but not the rest? Does Billy Graham didn't see the vision in the bible? How about Piper, MacArthur, Rick Warren, Cs Lewis, Paul Washer and thousand of pastor in the entire world didn't clear about the gospel?
So this might be interesting to explore: What are the main elements of the vision the LC is promoting?

Here's my take:
  1. Ground of the church (each locality)
  2. One ministry currently on the earth (Nee/Lee MOTA)
  3. Man becoming God in life and nature (but not Godhead)
  4. The human spirit indwelt by Christ
  5. God's purpose - the Dwelling place of God (bride, body, building)
There may be other things, this is just my first stab at it. Personally, I don't have that much issue with the last two . . .
