Some would say ancient liturgies are not in spirit and truth, and others would say the opposite. No one denomination seems to have a clear understanding of what worshiping in spirit and truth actually means. Neither does Scripture well-define it enough to rule out any particular style of worship as not being "in spirit and truth".
Lee failed because he thought he could judge by himself what is worship in spirit and came up with behavioral practices to help "turn to the spirit".

Things like "calling on the name of the Lord" became criteria to assess whether someone is in the spirit. Come to think of it, it is not different from the other rituals in the denominations that you mentioned.
