From a doctrinal and experiential point of view, if someone finds the identity of the Korea Evangelical Holiness Church in Wesley, it would be a story of looking for Wesley s energizing sense of balance. This is a form of holiness that extends beyond the personal holiness experience and extends into the community of faith and the social/political sphere. However, on the other hand, for those who emphasize the tradition of the holiness movement understanding holiness as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, this could not be fulfilled without this (bodily) experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the process of a gradual godly life pursuing change. And in fact, this entails not only the general phenomenon of the Holy Spirit, but also the (bodily) expectation of a extraordinary instantaneous apparent faith experience. The expectation for this (bodily) experience is clearly one of KEHC s identities. (out of the text)
