The Korean Local Church had been operated in a very authoritative and closed manner, and it had rarely contacted to Witness Lee until the death of Mr. Wang. In 1980s, after Mr. Wang¡¯s death, the Korean Local Church has made active contacts to Witness Lee¡¯s Local Church. Based on this connection, Mr. Witness Lee has regularly visited Korea a couple of times in a year and led retreats of the Korean Local Church, with other leaders from the Local Churches of Taiwan and USA. At the same time, the Korean Local Church actively started its propagation work in Korea and the number of its followers increased, in big and small cities in Korea. The number of its assembly facilities and halls increased by such propagation work, as well. And the Korean Local Church established its publishing company named as ¡®Korean Gospel Book Room¡¯ (www.kgbr.co.kr) and started its publishing business.Çѱ¹ÀÇ Áö¹æ±³È¸´Â Áß±¹ÀÇ °ø»êÈ ÀÌÈÄ¿¡ ¿öÄ¡¸¸ ´ÏÀÇ Á÷°è Á¦ÀÚ¶ó°í ÀÚĪÇÏ´ø ¿ÕÁß»ý(Çѱ¹ º»¸í: ±ÇÀÍ¿ø)¾¾ÀÇ Áöµµ ¾Æ·¡ 1966³â ½ÃÀ۵ƴÙ. ±ÇÀ§ÁÖÀÇÀûÀÌ°í Æó¼âÀûÀÎ ¼ºÇâÀ» ¶ì¾ú´ø Çѱ¹ÀÇ Áö¹æ±³È¸´Â À§Æ®´Ï½º ¸®ÀÇ Áö¹æ±³È¸¿Í´Â ±³·ù°¡ °ÅÀÇ ¾ø´Ù°¡, ¿Õ¾¾ÀÇ »ç¸ÁÀ» °è±â·Î 80³â´ë¿¡ µé¾î¿À¸é¼ È°¹ßÇÑ ±³·ù¸¦ °®±â ½ÃÀÛÇß´Ù.

If the Godhead is emphasized, then the Trinity could fall into the Sabellianism. If the three persons are emphasized, then the Trinity could fall into the tritheism. Witness Lee focuses on the Godhead, rather than the Trinity, and he interpretation on the Godhead onforms to the Sabellianism. Then,what is the Sabellianism? In a theological dictionary, quote ¡°Modalism, also called Sabellianism, is the unorthodox belief that God is one person who has revealed himself in three forms or modes, as a creator (Father), a savior (Son) and a deified figure (Holy Spirit), in contrast to the Trinitarian doctrine where God is one being eternally existing in three persons.¡±3) »ïÀÏ Çϳª´ÔÀº ¾çÅ·б⼺±³È¸¿¡¼´Â ½Å·ÐÀ» ÀÌÇØÇÒ ¶§ »ïÀ§ÀÏü(ß²êÈìéô÷)¶ó´Â Ç¥ÇöÀ» »ç¿ëÇÑ´Ù. »ïÀ§ÀÏü´Â Çϳª´Ô²²¼ ÇϳªÀÇ º»Áú¿¡ ¼¼À§°ÝÀ¸·Î °è½Å´Ù´Â ½ÅÇÐ ¿ë¾î´Ù. ±×·¯³ª »ïÀ§ÀÏü´Â ±× ¾È¿¡ ´ã±ä ³»¿ë ÀÚüÀÇ ¿À¹¦ÇÔÀ¸·Î Ç®ÀÌ°¡ ½±Áö ¾ÊÀº °ÍÀÌ »ç½ÇÀÌ´Ù.

Thus, the three persons of the Trinity become the three successive steps in the process of God¡¯s economy.

By His allinclusive death He accomplished redemption and solved all our problems. Now, in resurrection, He is the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, ready for us to receive and enjoy. ¡¦As long as we are one with Him in our spirit, our whole being will be permeated with the Spirit of holiness, and we shall become separate, absolutely different, from everything other than God. We shall also be permeated with God¡¯s living in us. (Witness Lee, ¡ºThe Spirit and Body¡», pp.106-107)Çϳª´ÔÀº ½Å¼º°ú, Àμº°ú, ¼ºÀ°½ÅµÇ½É°ú, Àλý°ú, ½ÊÀÚ°¡¿Í, ºÎÈ°°ú, ½ÂõÀ» Áö´Ñ °úÁ¤À» °ÅÄ£ Çϳª´ÔÀÌ´Ù.

In other words, the God in the Old Testament who only had the divinity became ¡°God-Man¡± by incarnation and finally became the Spirit by the Resurrection, in Witness Lee¡¯a insistence. His insistence shows the God¡¯s transformation process and this is a typical Sabellianism.¿ä¾àÇϸé À§Æ®´Ï½º ¸®°¡ ÁÖÀåÇÏ´Â »ïÀÏ Çϳª´ÔÀº °úÁ¤À» °ÅÄ£ »ïÀÏ Çϳª´ÔÀ¸·Î Çϳª´Ô²²¼ »ç¶÷¿¡°Ô ÀÚ½ÅÀ» ºÐ¹èÇϱâ À§ÇØ °úÁ¤À» °ÅÄ¡¼Ì´Ù´Â °ÍÀÌ´Ù. ´Ù½Ã ¸»ÇØ ±¸¾à¿¡¼ Çϳª´ÔÀº ½Å¼º¸¸ ÀÖ¾úÀ¸³ª ¼ºÀ°½ÅÀÇ °úÁ¤À¸·Î ¡®Çϳª´Ô-»ç¶÷¡¯ÀÌ µÆ°í, ºÎÈ°À» ÅëÇØ ÀμºÀ» Æ÷ÇÔÇÑ ¿µÀÌ µÆ´Ù´Â °ÍÀÌ´Ù.

The Local Church is a heresy without significant ethical issues in the Korean society, but its theories and doctrinesare unorthodox.Çѱ¹¿¡¼ Áö¹æ±³È¸¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ÀνÄÀº 1980³â ´ë À§Æ®´Ï½º ¸®°¡ ³»ÇÑÇϱ⠽ÃÀÛÇÏ¸é¼ ¼ö¸éÀ§·Î ºÎ»óÇϱ⠽ÃÀÛÇß´Ù.
