From Kindle Location 2073 0f 4086 in Chapter 5

Why did we have a problem with Brother Sparks? Brother Sparks came here [Taiwan] and most of his speaking involved the words of the ministry to supply Christ and to build up the church; unfortunately, there was a part of his speaking that was not from words of that ministry; they were a different teaching. Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 3:1 said: "that you might charge certain ones not to teach different things." The different things here are the different teachings.

It seems the problem was not so much Sparks teaching different things as Philip Lin would want the reader to believe, but the problem was Sparks not endorsing the doctrine of locality. That is what Lin may define as "teaching different things".
