They are allowed to initially hide that "hidden connection," but eventually NFNL and others learned that it existed, and with the tacit approval of the members.

That by definition is hypocrisy, folks. Condemning others for "hidden connections," and then having the same yourself, but denying its existence. As I said, layers and layers of hypocrisy!
A full-timer once told me there's nothing wrong with the line-item veto.

The funny thing about "hidden connections" is that almost no one else has a hidden connection. Whatever connection exists in out in the open. If you don't like the connection, you are fully aware of it. No one is hiding it.

Then there is that group (implying a connection) of allegedly autonomous assemblies that claims to answer to no one but Christ. And the only group I know like that is the LRC.

In the end the church and the ministries of the gifted ones will have to coexist. I am not aware of many that can navigate this well. There are a lot of pitfalls.
