I don't recall any verse in Scripture that talks about Christ in us "figuratively".

Neither do I recall a scripture verse stating that Jesus lives in us in his entirety.
The LC's taught the heresy of Modalism meaning that after ascension he became a spirit. Scripture, however, teaches us that Jesus remains in the same physical, albeit glorified, body that he resurrected in. Bodily ascension lies at the heart of the Gospel.
Which is it? Is Christ a spirit that lives in us? Or is he seated at the right hand of God in Heaven?
If he is a spirit within us, then is regenerate man 4 parts (body, soul, spirit, and Jesus)?
Or do Christians share the common link between us and Jesus in Heaven, the Holy Spirit?
So does Christ live in me as Paul understood it? Yes. Does Christ live in me as Nee and Lee understood it, no.
