Indwelling Scheme
Charles Buck Theological Dictionary [1]
A scheme which derives its name from that passage in Colossians 2:9 . "In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, " which, according to some, asserts the doctrine of Christ's consisting of two beings; one the self-existent Creator, and the other a creature made into one person by an ineffable union and indwelling, which renders the same attributes and honours equally applicable to both.
See Pre- Existence Dr. Owen's Glory of Christ, p. 368, 369. Lond. ed. 1679; a Sermon entitled "The true Christ of God above the false Christ of Men, "Ipswich, 1799; Watts's Glory of Christ, p. 6-203; Adam's View of Religions, p. 267.
