This study examines the development of Holiness Doctrine within the Jesus Korea Sungkyul Church in the aftermath of the 1961 schism of the Korean Holiness Church, with particular attention to the theological contributions of Kim Eung-jo and Lee Seong-joo. Both theologians remained firmly committed to core Wesleyan doctrinal principles—a dual soteriological structure and the eradication of original sin—while articulating the doctrine of sanctification in ways that responded to differing ministerial contexts and generated distinct practical implications. Kim Eung-jo’s experiential and testimonial theological approach emphasized eschatological crisis consciousness and instantaneous purification, thereby providing a theologically coherent and practically effective framework for revival-oriented ministry grounded in personal spiritual experience and a heightened sense of apocalyptic urgency. In contrast, Lee Seong-joo developed a systematic and academically oriented theology of sanctification that carefully integrated crisis and process as well as purity and empowerment, resulting in a comprehensive doctrinal framework suited to educational ministry and informed by rigorous historical-theological analysis. Taken together, these complementary approaches exemplify what this study conceptualizes as ‘creative fidelity’—a mode of theological development that preserves confessional identity while enabling meaningful contextual adaptation. By demonstrating how theological development functions in service of ministerial praxis, this study contributes to practical theology and offers Korean Holiness churches a constructive model of contextual theological reconstruction that maintains doctrinal continuity while fostering relevant and effective ministry amid rapidly changing cultural contexts.
