There are "Christian" pan[en]theists who believe that Spirit (God) is located, both, in the creation and beyond the creation, and that God's Spirit in the creation permeates the entire creation, and that It is the Divine world soul, whose body is the "Earth," a term that they use to describe the entire Universe. They also believe that the "Divine world soul, the Earth and the entire Cosmos," together as "One Entity," is the "Cosmic Christ." They believe that by becoming One with the "Cosmic Christ" they will have attained "the final recognition of the All in All, the unity of the Self with the Cosmos - the cognition of the DIVINITY OF THE SELF!" Rev. Matthew Fox has this belief, as did also, Teilhard de Chardin.

New Age pan[en]theists believe that Spirit (God) is located, both, in the creation and beyond the creation, and that God's Spirit in creation permeates the entire creation. However, we do not believe that It is the Divine world soul whose body is the Earth and the entire Universe. We believe that Spirit created the god that created the universe, and that this god was originally Divine, but later sinned and consequently lost his Divine status, and that it was after he lost his Divine status that he created this, from its origins, corrupt universe. We also believe that he manifests his sinful evil side as Satan and that he manifests his good side as the, less than Divine, world soul. We believe that Jesus Christ is, both, one with the Divine expression of the Cosmos-which appears to those who are in a divine state on consciousness as an essentially undifferentiated mass of light permeated with the Christ/Krishna/Buddha consciousness and that Jesus is also One with the "unqualified Absolute, the transcendent Father beyond the creation." We believe that the only way to become One with the "transcendent Father" is to go through the experience of first becoming one with the Cosmic Christ in creation. Jesus said, the only way to the Father is through me [the Cosmic Christ].
