在 Witness Lee 的设想里,“四合一有机实体”并不是抽象教义,而是用来塑造地方教会聚会形态和实际操作的一个总图像,尤其体现在:怎么来看聚会、怎么过聚会生活、以及怎么在聚会中守合一、建造身体。

## 一、看聚会:一城聚会=四合一实体在此处的显现

– 以弗所书 4:4–6 被读为:“一个身体、一灵、一主、一父神”=“四合一有机实体”,是“三一神与信徒调和的一个有机体”。[1]
– 在地方教会中,这首先被教导成一种“看法”:
– 当本地教会聚会时,我们不是一群松散信徒,而是“父、子、灵与身体四合一有机实体在此地的显出”;
– 因此,主日擘饼聚会、祷告聚会、小排聚会,都被解读为“四合一实体在一城的实际显现”,而不是某个组织活动。[2][3]

这个视角用来提升圣徒对聚会的意识:聚会就是“神人与调和体”的具体集会。

## 二、过聚会:在灵里、在身体里,维持有机联结

– 四合一有机体的核心是“我们与主是一灵”,所以在聚会实行中,Lee 一再强调:
– 所有服事、发言、诗歌、祷告都要“在灵里”,不要凭魂、凭天然热心,而要彰显“灵作本质、主作元素、父作源头”的内在实际。[4][5]
– 聚会不是表演,而是“肢体在有机联结中各尽功用”,每一个圣徒的小小发言都是这个四合一实体的“自我表达”。[6][7]
– 实际做法上,包括:
– 强调人人说话的“申言聚会”(林前14)——借着众人说基督,达到“有机建造”;[7][6]
– 推动晨兴、祷读、呼求主名,使圣徒在日常即维持与三一神的有机联结,好在聚会时不是“临时充电”,而是延续日常的有机生活。[5][7]

简言之:四合一实体在聚会中的实践,是要求聚会的一切活出都是“有机的”—出于内里与三一神的联合,而不是出于外在安排。

## 三、守合一:以四合一本体论支撑“一地一会”的聚会结构

– “一个身体、一灵、一主、一神父”的四合一图像,被用来说明:身体的合一和三一神的合一是“同质的合一”,所以地上的地方教会必须以“一地一会”的方式显出这种合一。[3][1]
– 在聚会层面,这具体表现为:
– 在同一城市不设两个“地方召会聚会”,以免在同一地方把四合一有机实体“切块”,所以不同语种或需要的聚会,多被理解为同一个地方召会中的分聚会,而非独立教会。[2][3]
– 不鼓励“另起炉灶”的聚会点;若有分裂倾向,会用“四合一有机实体不可分割”的语言来牧养、劝勉,强调分裂是“把身体切开”。[8][9]
– 对外,也用此图像说明:
– 万地所有地方召会,都是这一四合一实体的“多处显现”,在交通与“调和的实行”(blending)中,见证一个有机的宇宙身体。[10][11]

因此,聚会的“范围”和“归属”被四合一本体论深度规范:地上聚会的划分,应与“一个身体”的本体合一相配。

## 四、建造方向:聚会=有机建造的过程,而不是宗教履行

– Lee 经常用“有机建造”来描述教会聚会的目的:聚会是“借着生命供应与申言,将基督分赐到彼此里面,使四合一有机实体在我们身上长大”。[9][12][7]
– 实际上,这使地方教会的聚会有一个明确指向:
– 不是主要为讲台一人讲道,而是众肢体在灵里彼此说建造的话;
– 不是为完成宗教义务,而是让三一神与人“在此时此地再一次调和并扩增”。[6][7]

一句压缩式表述(可直接用于论文):

> 在 Witness Lee 的地方教会实践中,“四合一有机实体”从一幅三一—教会图像,具体化为聚会的自我理解与操作原则:地方召会的每一次聚集都被看作是“父、子、灵与身体四合一有机体在一城的显现”,信徒被要求在灵里、在身体里说话与服事,以维持与三一神的有机联结,并在“一地一会”的聚会结构中守住身体的独一合一,使聚会成为这四合一实体在地方持续被建造与扩展的过程。[11][1][3][2][6]
