We have just one God, one throne, one administration, one authority, one flow, one way, and one tree.

No it is not Paul's concept. It is a twist on what Paul said which had absolutely nothing to do with what Witness Lee is saying in order to get people to think that Paul is approving and lending his own signature to what WL is saying. See the cleverness here. It begins with asserting that this is Paul's concept then eases the believer into WL concepts by using agreeable terms such as one God, one throne. Once he gets you to this point he introduces his own ministry as the one flow, one way and one tree. And himself as the one authority. Gottcha!
^^^^^ Couldn't have put it better myself.
