This is exactly why my premise is that a “recovery” of the church is more than just getting believers in a city to call themselves the church in that city. A real recovery of “the church” would have to be a total change in content, speaking, ministry, that brought the believers back to the foundational church as ministered by Paul. W Lee brought a nice workable concept of meeting together as the church in a city, but filled that with his own new improved version of tritheism. You can see why Paul was so adamant in making sure the believers rallied around one God, the Father. When the gospel is that Jesus is the Christ, and that God raised that man from the dead and gave him the position he was given, that concept could be abused, morphed, altered for personal gain and profit, and power. Yes, Lee dropped his recovery right in the 4th century and proceeded to use the same tactics that the grand clergy, the people in the know, of the 4th century used to control the little potatoes. The results were the same- endless repeat of the mantra, mandated conformity, and loss of true spiritual understanding. The decree flows from the top down and the money from the bottom up.
