It is very alarming that certain men are so revered that they actually and ironically end up elevated to a Pope-like status. There is no man that is infallible, and the best Gospel preachers I know would heartily agree with that.
It is sad that criticism of these teachers is almost always dismissed as taking a quote or idea out of context instead of honestly assessing what is being said.
There is no misrepresenting the gospel that should be dismissed or excused. It is a life or death issue. There is only one Gospel. No variation will do. So, we have to make sure we have it right and not be afraid to speak out when someone toys with it, even when the one doing so is well-known as a faithful 
Bible teacher/preacher.

" I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ." ~Galatians 1:6-7
"Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" ~I Cor 15:1-4
