I see your point, but does anyone seriously believe Witness Lee “recovered” anything of the caliber of salvation through faith alone? Witness Lee’s “ministry” was so complicated, wordy and “Leeized” he was likely the only one who could comprehend it because he made it up through personal interpretation of scripture and called it “recovered.”
I’m saying that Church History has been defined by what men say it is rather than defined by God.

Yes, church history is full of man-made nonsense. And I include the confused teachings of Witness Lee in this. But nevertheless, after salvation through faith alone, God also showed us baptism, holiness, spiritual gifts, and the universal priesthood anew. And in my opinion, he also showed us in the last century that he doesn't want denominations. Once they are abolished, we will be able to enjoy the New Testament conditions again. However, I am aware how much this contradicts evangelical thinking and that it may take a long time. But I am optimistic that the time will come when people will also view denominations as man-made nonsense, just as they once did with the sale of indulgences.
