Tom,

BradJHammond provided some good passages that show what the Bible teaches about perichoresis-indwelling/oneness.

Here is a link that mentions perichoresis about 1/3 the way down the page. I selected the 3 quotes and truly hope that they are not taken out of context. http://www.prca.org/prtj/apr2000.html#HolyFamily

As the church has always understood, the indwelling, or perichoresis, of the Father and the Son is due to oneness of being. The unbelieving Jews understood this also. Their response was that "they sought again to take him."

From an original meaning of "encircling" or "encompassing," the term perichoresis has come to refer in theology to the mutual interpenetration and indwelling of the Father and the Son. The doctrine is based on John's teaching that the Father is in the Son and the Son, in the Father.

The theological tradition has viewed the indwelling as fellowship. John of Damascus, who was influential in developing the doctrine of the perichoresis, described it as a "cleaving together." The Reformed theologian Johannes Marchius wrote that "these personae meet mutually ... in ... mutua inexistentia."
