Lee believed in the three, so not modalist in the normal sense. But he primarily believed and taught a kind of trinity in which the purpose of three was virtually meaningless. In which everyone but a near modalist was a tritheistic heretic.

Yeah, this makes it clearer...I remember hearing or reading about how the Father is the Son is the Spirit...or something like that. I never really got too much into the life studies or the HWFMR. I am sure some of you here could correct me. Is that what underpins the recovery version along with God's economy and our somewhat deification? And if so, what are the consequences that in the verse I mentioned, the Spirit was not yet. (John 7:39)

The following is the footnote for the word Spirit in John 7:39:
The Spirit of God was there from the beginning (Gen 1:1-2), but at the time the Lord spoke this word, the Spirit as the Spirit of Christ (Rom 8:9), the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil 1:19), was not yet, because the Lord had not yet been glorified. Jesus was glorified when He was resurrected (Luke 24:26). After Jesus' resurrection, the Spirit of God became the Spirit of the incarnated, crucified and resurrected Jesus Christ, who was breathed into the disciples by Christ in the evening of the day on which He was resurrected (John 20:22). The Spirit is now the "another Comforter," the Spirit of Reality promised by Christ before His death (John 14:16-17). When the Spirit was the Spirit of God, He had only the divine element. After He became the Spirit of Jesus Christ through Christ's incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection, The Spirit had both the divine element and the human element, with all the essence and realty of the incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Hence, the Spirit is now the all-inclusive Spirit of Jesus CHrist as the living water for us to receive (John 7:38-39)

Pretty confusing to me.
