Description This article examines the Wesleyan Trinitarian theology and pneumatology as God’s performative actions through insight into the speech act theory. Wesley’s understanding of the Holy Spirit in the Trinitarianism, which reveals God’s salvation performance, has not been studied relatively much in Wesleyan Trinitarianism. Also, in modern theology, Trinitarianism is being interpreted newly along with various disciplines through interdisciplinary dialogue. Therefore, this article attempted to re-examine Wesley’s Trinitarianism and Holy Spirit theory with the speech act theory in the philosophy of language. These quests allow us to explain that the salvation of the triune God is revealed in the believers.Contribution: This article engages the traditional Wesleyan Trinitarian theology and pneumatology as God’s performative actions for the salvations to reconsider it in the speech act theory. It can explain what God’s performative action of salvation achieves in the lives of believers and how it transforms their lives.
