Second, the de facto primary experience for the Korea Holiness Church appears to be the experience of divine healing. In many testimonies of believers, especially in the testimonies of representative pastors of the Holiness Church. Third, in the faith experience of the Korea Holiness Church, less attention was paid to the witness of our spirit among the dual witnesses of Wesley s claim to being the children of God .
