Kenneth Copeland: Creepy, Demonic, and Fleecing the Flock?

Many Christians are deeply troubled by the ministry of Kenneth Copeland and the Word of Faith/prosperity gospel he promotes. His intense demeanour often appears unsettling, even demonic to some, while his frequent appeals for financial 'seeds'—even from the poor—in exchange for promised healing and blessing raise serious biblical concerns.

Scripture warns against those who exploit the gospel for personal gain (2 Peter 2:3; 1 Timothy 6:5). True revival, like the 1949–1952 Hebrides awakening on the Isle of Lewis, it saw people fall forward on their knees in repentance and holy awe before God.

In contrast, the widespread 'slain in the Spirit' practice of falling backward in many modern charismatic meetings lacks clear biblical support and can resemble something far less than the work of the Holy Spirit. We must test everything against God’s Word (Acts 17:11) and pray for discernment in these last days.
