I only said there are similarities but I disagree that LC is dominionist, for a few reasons.
Dominion theology emphasizes control over all creation and human institutions, in this life, including culture and politics. The local churches do not have interest in controlling these things. Lee talked about not getting involved with politics. And where Lee talks about dominion it is about the next life, the 1000 year reign of Christ, not this life. So this is a clear point of difference in my view.
The movements you mentioned, like kingdom now are fairly late, e.g 1970's/80's. I am doubtful that the two groups had much to do with each other as it concerns Lee's theology.
