Without hard-copy, it is virtually impossible to find the quotes mentioned to see the broader context. I've gone cross-eyed looking for the reference in endnote #3. Probably will have the same problem for many others.

You mean this note:

3. Among the early Brethren a variety of views were held concerning pre- and post-tribulation rapture, plus partial rapture. Robert C. Chapman held that there would be multiple raptures, consistent with the partial rapture of the church. His coworker, Hake held a different view. Roy Coad says concerning George Muller, “We know from an explicit statement of his own in 1879 that Müller did not adopt the Secret Rapture viewpoint.” [F. Roy Coad, “Prophetic Developments with particular reference to the early Brethren Movement.” C.B.R.F. Occasional Paper Number 2(Pinner, Middlesex, 1966) p. 22.]Multiple raptures—an overcoming minority (“firstfruits”) & majority (“harvest”)—were taught by D. M. Panton; this writer appears to be a major influence on W. Nee and W. Lee.

Sorry. I was looking back and forth between three different essays by Nigel and posted from the wrong one. The one that comment was about has not even been posted here. My bad.

Typology of the Spirit
Anyone had a try at cracking this nut? Is the concept of the compound Spirit as the reality of the anointing oil still valid?

0.10891 (couldn't resist the mathematical equivalency),

That would be an interesting study. Where is it claimed to come from and based on what? Did Lee quote a verse and simply say "this means that the Spirit is the reality of the anointing oil" or is there something more substantial than that? If he did little more than make a statement like that, then the question would not be "is it still valid?" but "was it ever valid?"

One of the things that it took me a while to realize is that what Lee says is not so unless it is fairly clear on its face that it is so. But Lee said a lot of things that do not flow from the underlying scripture. The problem is that the remaining LC faithful try to say that Lee has proved it so we have to disprove it, when in reality, Lee never proved anything. That leaves them with nothing to defend. But they will not face that fact. They will not try to fill in the gaps that Lee left with something that will make Lee's statements so. They simply take his word as if God's word.

I have a complete understanding and experience of the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. I am absolutely certain each and ever true believer has experienced the Anointing at the very least ONCE in their Christian walk. Most likely it's been numerous times, only most true believers do not understand the power of the Anointing and when it falls upon them or when they are simply walking in it.

Lee to my knowledge never explained it.

Oh..but he went on & on about the 'compound' Spirit which I had forgotten all about until you mentioned it, 11of101. Lee loved making up themes: the Organic Crystalization of the Compound Spirit of the Godman in the body of the Lord's Recovery under the administration of the Oracle, that is the apostle of this age...meaning LEE. Did I leave anything else out ?

The teaching is a beautiful picture of God in the type of the anointing oil. I'm not sure who first taught it, but it is a shame for LSM to teach and reteach these wonderful teachings, yet have little reality of the actual anointing of the Spirit.
