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.

The first problem I see with the teaching is that it doesn’t recognize that we have already been both crucified with Christ and raised with Him in newness of life. We must reckon that first or we are wasting our time trying to do something we don’t need to do nor are able. Yes there is a need to continue putting off the old man and put on the new. But without realizing what is already done we can’t do that either.
