In my opinion, as long as you receive Christ through someone's ministry, you should accept Christ.
But, practically, if I begin to dislike someone or my respect for a person reduces, I may not pay attention to what he is saying, however spiritual his words are.
This is just my opinion/understanding. You are free to disagree.

Paul confronted the "super apostles" in his battle for the truth. They had a form of godliness but denied its power. Huge sections of the writings of Paul address this very matter of the "character of God's workers." Watchman Nee even has a book with this title.
SavedbyGrace, two questions here ...
1. If the character of the minister is so insignificant, and we in the local churches only care to "enjoy the Lord," as LSM is want to say, why didn't WL apply that standard to all the believers outside of the recovery?
2. If the character of the minister is so insignificant, why did the Apostles spend so much time writing the New Testament to expose these ones?
