It explores how denominations or confessions and the broader process of "denominization" become theologically possible —rooted in both divine gracious action and human contextual response in its proper form. The paper examines how specific denominational forms are realized across three key dimensions: institutional, historical, and doctrinal. Where appropriate, insights from historical studies and field research on Chinese Christianity are also included.
