1. they are men of God. so, don't judge, just follow (where is that biblical command to watch out for wolves in sheep clothing, or to believe not every spirit, or to test everything?)
2. they are helping the poor (don't non-christians also help the poor?)
3. they have led people to the Lord, (even if they are now leading them astray?)
4.They perform signs and wonders (even the devil can perform signs and wonders)
5. add the ones you have heard

6. you will be curse if you say anything against them, they are God's anointed
7. Don't say anything, only God knows (the fear that has kept us captive for decades)
8. It doesn't matter, God will still bless you through them (everybody are only after their own blessing).
9. they have spiritual authority, God speaks to them so just agree with whatever they say (after we call ourselves protestant and declare Sola scriptura - we follow only the bible)
