I think you're maybe not clear on what the terms mean.
When Christians say that God is immanent in everything, or that all forms are contained in the mind of God, that is not the same as pantheism.
In conversation of course it's not strict, but if you're going to be critiquing theology it would make sense to use the precise terms the way the experts do.
Was that you who commented on my YouTube video? If not, I'd encourage you to, you can probably comment more intelligently than most of the people who will comment.
