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
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
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
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
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
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
