TRAINING FOR THE
“GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM”
&
ESTABLISHING “NEW
WINESKINS” FOR “NEW WINE”

[After reading the material below,
please fill out the FORM at the end
of this page. We will take it from there.]

Your instructor for this training  - at least initially – will be S.R. Shearer, the head of Antipas Ministries and the author of The New Antipas Papers.

For those who volunteer for this training you will be furnished with his personal email address so that you may ask him questions concerning the material.

INTRODUCTION

You have chosen to become involved in God’s commission regarding the “Gospel of the Kingdom” and establishing a testimony to Him in this evil, wicked world – putting the “new wine” of the “Gospel of the Kingdom” into “new wineskins.” The decision you have made is fraught with danger and risk because in doing so, you will be confronting an imperial system that itself claims to represent God in this earth. As a result, you must possess a “certainty” with regard to the path you have chosen, not only insofar as you are concerned personally, but also insofar as those with whom you will come in contact. YOU WILL, to put it crudely, HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! – and, again, this does not come by way of osmosis, but by hard study. The Bible says:

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)

THREE TYPES OF TRAINING

There are three types of training available to you, and they are arranged below in order of difficulty; but no matter which one you choose, they will all provide you with the ability to speak in the name of Antipas. The three courses are as follows, and parallels to some extent the course of instruction we are offering students in the U.S., except that their courses of instruction are meant to prepare them for ALIYA, while the courses of instruction we are providing to you are meant to orient you towards raising up a testimony where you live.

  1. Basic Course

    The first and most basic course of instruction deals with the eschatology contained in The Antipas Papers and associated material. In this most basic course of instruction, you will NOT be required to do the “PRACTICAL” exercises attached to the training.

    If you choose this course of instruction, you will be prepared to preach the “Gospel of the Kingdom” to a world that is thirsting to hear it – and in doing so, you will be responding to Christ’s call in Luke 10:2; a call that pertains DIRECTLY to the “Gospel of the Kingdom.”

    A certificate will be granted upon completion of this course.

  2. Intermediate Course: Preparation for Leadership

    The second course of instruction consists of all the training contained in the basic course with the addition of the “PRACTICAL” exercises. The “PRACTICAL” exercises are pretty much the same that we are offering in our ALIYA courses, except that they may be altered to fit the cultural situation of each unique country. In time, what we hope to do is open up a “DISCUSSION BOARD” where those involved in the “Intermediate Course” can pray together, discuss their unique situations, and if changes are needed in the “PRACTICAL” exercises, those changes can be discussed with others facing the same problems.

    If you choose this course of instruction, it is assumed that you want to become involved in starting a “house-church” where you live.

    This course of instruction is available to both men and women alike – it’s too late in the “game” to quibble about the so-called “role of the sexes” insofar as leadership is concerned. Where there is a dearth of men, we encourage the sisters to step forward as Deborah did so many years ago. (Judges 4:5 and Judges 5:15)

    These PRACTICAL exercises have been carefully constructed so as to gradually, but with an increasing tempo, turn you into a leader in the ministry. By the time you have finished this course of instruction, you will most likely have a “following.” We will also begin to provide you with the names of those in your area who have expressed an interest in Antipas.

    YOU MAY TAKE THIS COURSE OF INSTRUCTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BASIC COURSE ABOVE.

    A certificate will be granted upon completion of this course.

  3. Advanced Training

    The third course of instruction aims at preparing you for a pastor’s role within the OVERALL MOVEMENT. To avail yourself of this course of instruction, you must have completed both courses of instruction above. This course of instruction is not available at this time.

God bless you all!
