We know Witness Lee was never born-again as revealed by the Holy Spirit in agreement with God's Word and testified by brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Bible did not lie when it said we shall know them by their fruit. The false fruit of Witness Lee is so aberrant we know the evil spirit led him in his selfish attempts for a false organization (the tares). He was not regenerated with God's life because:
1) No Christian would sue others so prolifically as did Witness Lee's false system. Suing for faith is a sin. There is no precedence for this in Scripture and is quite contrary to the meekness of the little flock.
2) Modalism is a sin which is deeply entrenched in Leeism for they say they are God unwittingly and pridefully to confuse God with themselves. Mormons say the same thing. Some say they are "God" or they say they are a "God-man". They are not God in nature or in any way whatsover. The reason for this false teaching of deification is due to their modalism: modalists teach God the Father is the Son and the Spirit, and the Spirit is the Son. As well, modalism says the Godhead is a person. That's like mormonism that says God the Father use to be a person. I assure you, the Godhead is 3 Persons, not one person. From this one person teaching they too think they are a God person. Pride precedes the fall! Satan is the author of confusion and misrepresentation.
3) Leeists have the pride of preselectionism: they believe they were saved first or given faith to cause them to believe (as taught in calvinism), rather than first having to choose the cross to then be saved. We are sovereign beings, not robots. For them, they are pre-made robots for salvation, and they say their god (which is really just an idol ideology) premakes men for hell to also not give them the choice to be saved by grace.
4) Altering Watchman Nee's writings is so extensive and so bizarre by LSM, e.g. claiming TSM said that the 3 main emotions of man are love, hate and being affected, even though there is no love, hate and being affected chapters. Rather in chapter 2, the 3 main aspects of emotion gone into great detail and expounded by corresponding chapters with the same names are: Affection, Desire and Sensing & Feelings (or "Life of Feeling"). Make note that Lee's alterations are accompanied by additional text to try to rationalize the alteration that are nowhere to be found in TSM (CFP white covers). How shallow Lee is, for desire is not necessarily hateful, nor is affection comprised of only love for there are many types of affections gone into in the chapter on Affection. How narrow the view of Leeism. Understand why Lee changed "Desire" to "Hate", because if you have any "desires" well pleasing to God, then Lee can't control you. He does not want "desire" to be a compliment of your emotions, because once you think and desire, he can't control you. He is a very bad man and tries to manipulate with words. He tries to get you to rise up in your hatred, bringing those he controls from his grave into the fifth sin.
5) Violent screaming mantra is a mainstay of Leeism. This entails repetitive shouting, not reading, for they are short 2 or 3 word outbursts that have an aggressive nature to them. There is no way to reach into the spirit with these antics. The emotion is fed unrighteously and gets excited as well passifies the person to be unthinking in mantra. There is no way the Holy Spirit led Lee into these control mechanisms and emotional manipulations to form attachments with ungodly men.
Lee did not abide in Biblocality. He did not align himself with apostles and elders as was reached with Nee where a pinnacle was attained of 200 apostles in agreement. Lee instead had distribution outlets without apostles that received products from the central control and command of the LSM corporation in which edicts were passed down like in the Roman Church. There is no central command of the church in the Bible and no popery. Apostles work regionally and do not have responsibility beyond their region of churches. God knows man's flesh all too well to prevent central control, so when an organization called The Local Church headed up through Living Stream Ministry tries to usurp itself with its products mostly charged to its outlets, you know it is not right.
It is not a sin to not understand the particulars of Biblocality, but there is lack in the apostles today to come together in agreement. Biblocality is simply the apostles directly commissioned by God to appoint elders of a locality; the apostles would be in agreement on a certain number of items or questions as was Paul with Peter, James and John when they met in early councils. This first love has been lost because though such councils have been performed subsequently, they have either been too vague with loopholes like in the Nicene Creed, or they have added onto God's Word. Hence problems arise and cults rise up like The Local Church of the Living Stream Ministry.
Pray that God will shut them up as the demons were not allowed to speak when Jesus cast them out and as Satan's head is bruised under the heal of the church. God is well pleased with prayers that attack Satan's organizations.
Shut them up by just not listening to their radio station, reading their books, buying their materials and purchasing their products. Once you realize they are wrong and try to add hidden untruths you can easily cast them aside. I think people like to prop themselves up with special teachings to make themselves feel good, but in reality take on a false idea because of an unclean conscience.
Praise the Lord for this discernment!
