Default Re: Is the Processed, Four-in-One God a sound doctrine?

Witness Lee on the four in one God:

Ultimately, the church is a group of people who are in union with the Triune God and are mingled with the Triune God. The Triune God and the church are four-in-one. Because the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are all one with the Body of Christ, we may say that the Triune God is now the “four-in-one God.” These four are the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and the Body.
A Deeper Study of the Divine Dispensing p.203-204


Because the believers are incorporated into Him, He as the heavenly ladder serves as the personal bridge to the Triune God, incorporating in Himself the Divine Trinity and the believers. This is the very center of the universe, for in Him God and man are joined together, and the ministrations of God are focused on Him as this heavenly bridge. Within Himself He incorporates the unique enterprise of God’s economy, that is, the Triune God operating through Him by the Spirit in the believers for the manifestation and expression of God the Father on the earth.

…In this way the believers become the reproduction, expansion, and physical continuation of the incarnate and incorporate Son of God and indeed the organism of the Triune God Himself.

The Johannine Jesus as Bridge and Model for the Incorporation of the Believers into the Divine Trinity (2) - Kerry Robichaux


The salvation of God is not primarily to save us from hell and to bring us into heaven, but rather to impart His divine life into us. By regeneration, we receive His divine life into our spirit. From our spirit, He is spreading into our soul by the process of transformation, and at His second coming, He will even saturate our body.
Faith, Regeneration and the New Creation

New Jerusalem is actually a corporate person who includes the processed and consummated Triune God and, as the issue of God’s complete salvation, all the chosen, redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, renewed, transformed, built-up believers in Christ.

#1 Nowhere in the New Testament do we find any descriptive, prescriptive or instructional passage that even slightly hints at the notion that there will be any "one minister" or any "one ministry for the age" (unless you want to count the ministry of the Lord Jesus, of course)

#2 Since the scripture writing apostles, no one person in church history has ever met the qualifications to claim such a lofty title. If fact, any man who has ever claimed such a thing for himself has invariably been found to be a fraud, shyster, huckster and false teacher. Unfortunately, men like these are a dime a dozen in church history.

#3 Witness Lee had repeatedly disqualified himself as an elder of a local church, and therefore was even more disqualified from being a leader of an entire Christian organization of any kind. It should go without saying that he had no business being the chief theologian/teacher of an entire Christian movement.
