I like how he stressed Christ DIED ONCE for sin. And never does the bible say we are crucified more than once when it comes to sin. To self, yes, we carry the cross daily, but not for sin. When it comes to sin, we died once already when Christi died, since it was with Him.

I like how Nee used the slip of paper in the book example. If you put the slip of paper in the book, everywhere the book goes the slip goes. All that happens to the book can be said to happen with the slip of paper. In that sense we were baptized INTO CHRIST, and therefore, were buried, risen and ascended and seated with Him, too!
