False Teacher

Keith Moore

Kenneth Hagin protégé teaching 'God wants you to increase in every realm'

Biography

Keith Moore is the founder of Faith Life Church and Moore Life Ministries, with locations in Branson, Missouri and Sarasota, Florida. He was trained at Kenneth Hagin's Rhema Bible Training Center, making him a second-generation Word of Faith teacher. He teaches prosperity and positive confession theology, claiming 'God wants you to increase in every realm.' His ministry's website notably lacks any statement of beliefs, requiring people to listen to his sermons to understand his doctrine — a lack of transparency that concerns discerning Christians.

Biblical Assessment

Every preacher is tested against our 5-point biblical framework. Here's how Keith Moore measures up:

Title & Authority

VERDICT: FAIL

Trained by Kenneth Hagin at Rhema Bible Training Center. Propagates the Word of Faith movement's founder's teachings without critically examining them against Scripture.

Scripture:

Acts 17:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Timothy 2:15

Gospel Message

VERDICT: FAIL

Teaches Word of Faith prosperity doctrine — that God wants believers wealthy and healthy, and that faith and confession produce these results. This adds works to grace and creates a transactional relationship with God.

Scripture:

1 Timothy 6:5-10, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, Luke 9:23

Fruit & Lifestyle

VERDICT: FAIL

His teaching produces followers focused on material increase rather than spiritual transformation. Local pastors have expressed concern about his prosperity emphasis.

Scripture:

Matthew 6:19-21, Colossians 3:1-2, 1 John 2:15-17

Revelation vs. Scripture

VERDICT: FAIL

Follows Kenneth Hagin's emphasis on 'rhema' words and personal revelation alongside (or above) Scripture. The Word of Faith movement's distinctive hermeneutics distort biblical interpretation.

Scripture:

2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Isaiah 8:20

Finances & Transparency

VERDICT: FAIL

Faith Life Church website reveals no statement of beliefs or financial information. This lack of transparency is concerning for any ministry teaching on prosperity and asking for donations.

Scripture:

2 Corinthians 8:21, 1 Peter 5:2, Acts 20:33-35
