Pneumatology is the study of the action, nature and extent of spiritual things, beings and phenomena, especially the interactions between humans and the Deity.

Pneumatology helps us understand and practice the Gifts of the Spirit, including the Motivational Graces of Romans 12, the Spiritual Gifts of First Corinthians 12, the Apostolic Grantings of First Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4, and the miraculous works of the foundational writings of faith.

The Lamar Hayes Institute has developed the finest and most practical approach to Spiritual Resources that includes academic research, beginning Greek and Hebrew exegesis, first-hand experience, and practical application.

What Does a Pneumatologist Do?

A Pneumatologist is an expert in spiritual theology, spiritual experience and spiritual phenomenon within the realm of Judeo-Christian practice. 

A Pneumatologist understands, practices, and explains
          spiritual gifts and graces,
          theology of spiritual (pneumatic) things and of the Holy Spirit,
          divisions of gifts, graces and grantings,
          why people manifest certain gifts and why they do not,
          which spiritual manifestations are right and which are evil.

The Pneumatologist has acquired
          compassion and empathy for others,
          experience in the spiritual realm,
          cursory knowledge of original Biblical language and meaning,
          the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire,
          miracle-working abilities,
          and has discovered his / her strengths, weaknesses and boundaries.

The Pneumatologist is able to
          compose, execute and maintain spiritual gifts seminars,
          use many, varied inventories and methods of evaluation,
          employ personal intuition and discernment to help others understand,
          teach disciples to reach their highest and best good, and
          in them, duplicate their own training, expertise and experience.

Four Professional Certifications

To our knowledge (and that of our international colleagues), there is no other academic course, professional certification, or extensive educational program and praxis in Pneumatology.  After having presented Gifts Seminars for nearly thirty years, having received and used multiple spiritual gifts in regular life and church work, and having assessed thousands of individuals over the Internet and in person, we have identified four levels of Pneumatological competency, composed simple training courses to deliver this knowledge, and proposed exercises to enhance coursework with practical experience.

Pn. A. - Pneumatology, Associate

Associate Pneumatologists may conduct official Lamar Hayes Institute seminars in understanding behavior and inspired abilities via the Motivational Gifts.  The Pn. A. may also administer the Lamar Hayes Motivational Gifts Inventory by way of Internet or printed material.  The Pn. A. may teach the Motivational Way to students and introduce them to the Integrated Approach Method of Self-discovery.

The coursework required for completion and certification on the Associate level includes

  • Complete a letter of intention: who are you, where can we find you, why are you studying Pneumatology and what do you plan to do with your certification.
    Email it using the contact form.
  • Payment of the registration where appropriate.
  • Purchase and completion of the workbooks: Spiritual Gifts Revelation 1.
  • Satisfactory completion of written exercises in practical Pneumatology.
  • Completions of extra readings and sign-off.
  • Hosting two small Motivational Gifts demonstrations / seminars as per the directions in Spiritual Gifts Revelation 1

This course is independent study with mentoring (if necessary) on-line, by phone or in person.  We are also offering the course free of charge to a limited number of individuals.  The potential Pn. A. must purchase the texts and promise to complete the material within three months.  If you would like to be considered for free tuition, complete your letter of intention.

Pn. P. - Pneumatology, Practical

Practical Pneumatologists are able to conduct any charismatic works of our Associates plus the Pn. P. may conduct official seminars in understanding behavior and inspired abilities through Pneumatic Gifts and Apostolic Grantings.  The Pn. P. will be fully equipped to both explain and confer Spirit Baptism and direct others in spiritual formation, use of gifts and spiritual healing.

Pn. A. is required, plus successful completion of the practical exercises found in Spiritual Gifts Revelation 2.  At this time, Certification requires two exercises in practical pneumatology, two field trips and a research paper or presentation. 

Pn. C. - Pneumatology, Clinical (professional)

Clinical Pneumatologists are able to conduct any charismatic and pneumatic works that our Associates and Practicals do.  In addition, the Clinical Professional is licensed by the Lamar Hayes Institute to counsel in private or assembly settings using the Integrated Method of Motivational Graces, Temperamental Personalities, Direct - Open Inventory and Nine-Key (Enneagram) types.  Further, the Clinical Professional should be able to set up assessment stations in real-time or cyberspace, evaluate and assess all LHI Inventories, accumulate potential client inventories, and provide remedial help to clients via personal interview, phone or email.

Pn. P. Certification is required, plus successful completion of our text, Assessing and Teaching the Integrated Approach to Spiritual Gifts.  Successful examinations for two other practices are required, preferably Creation Therapy and Understanding the Enneagram.  A research project in Cognitive and Practical Pneumatology is also required. 

Pn. C+. - Pneumatology, Clinical (+ counseling)

This Clinical Pneumatologist is also Certified in Creation Therapy, Esoteric Psychology, approved Enneagram program. Kersey Character type, clinical educational, mental health discipline, or approved Christian Counseling method.


Comments:

Lamar Hayes Institute
Tallahassee, FL

Hello Potential Student:

The certifications you ask about are in Pneumatology – “Spiritual Resources.”  There are two complete courses from me, each with requirements and praxis:

  • Spiritual Gifts Revelation Volume One: Charismata Theory, Assessment & Problem Solving, and

  • Spiritual Gifts Revelation Volume Two: Miracles by the Book (The Pneumatic and Apostolic Gifts)

I am available for mentoring through the courses.   

There is a third, advanced, mentored course:

  • Assessing and Teaching the Integrated Approach to Spiritual Gifts

This is an intensive course in using ancient techniques to help others (and yourself) find their souls.

Each course suggests a couple other books as supplementary material and requires hands-on projects.  Also, throughout, there are devotional as well as academic exercises.

I am not ashamed to make the claim that the Integrated Approach is the most accurate in the world for assessing the favors of the Heavenly Father.  Thousands have completed LHI assessments either in person or via the web.

When you complete the first workbook successfully, you will be an expert in the Motivational Gifts, and will have completed a couple Motivational Seminars on your end.  You will have all you need to take the training forth.

At this time, the cost is no cost.  You may make a generous donation anytime, which will help tremendously; however, this is not required.  Though there is no cost, the training material is not cheap.  It is comprehensive, complete, academic and practical.

We suggest that you purchase the printed versions of the workbooks.  However, e-books are also available.

You may peruse sections of book one for three days.  In that time you must decide whether you will complete the course or not in 90 days.  If a no go, I ask that you not make a copy and return it to me.  It is in PDF form.  Of course, you may always purchase the printed version at www.apostolia.us.

Certification may come through either the International Institute of Church Management or the Lamar Hayes Institute of Pneumatology.  I will also seek certification through B’nai Yahshua Synagogues Worldwide if that is of interest to you. 

Since this material contains several new concepts we have learned from years of assessments and experience, we do not seek any other denominational recommendations.

If you want to check out the starting course, please reply and I will send your the sample in PDF.

Yours in Yahweh,

Dr. Jackson Snyder
