Default Re: Taking Christ as our person? What's the meaning of person here?

If we study Triune God or Trinity theology, we will find out three persons in one God (Father, Son and Spirit). So, person in theological terms refers to a hypostate of divine Trinity.

From this, what does exactly mean taking Christ as our person according to Witness Lee and LSM's publication? Do they mean that we have to become one of divine Trinity or one of hypostate? This teaching is really orthodox or theologically correct? I feel abnormal for this teaching.
More questions:
1) How do you “take Christ as your person”, say the words over and over?
2) How do you know when it’s “done”...when Christ is now “my person”?
3) How long does it last? Do you have to “say the words” every day, all day?
4) How many times do you have to do it before it’s “permanent”? Will it ever be “permanent”?
5) How is Christ as my person different from being saved by grace; forgiven for my sins; regenerated once for all?
6) Where are the “taking Christ as my person” verses in the Bible?
