I don't know about your extreme view of "NO" comparison, but I certainly don't find enough in the anecdotes that come my way to warrant me making too much of an effort to know this man. At the same time, nobody I have known flocks to his meeting in such a way as to warrant my concern. In other words, he is not a magnet of false theology or a false religious system like Joseph Smith or other such individuals. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil, and every critic I have read always focuses on the money. If Benny Hinn were dirt poor, I don't think anybody would care about him. His critics would go away. I think that says a lot about the motivation of his critics. Such an observation does not justify Hinn, it only impugns the critic. I hope you can understand the difference. In regards to comparing ministries, I think the following passage ought to be considered and followed: Mark 9:38-40 (38) And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. (39) But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. (40) For he that is not against us is on our part. Such a passage indicates that there were some who did not do it Jesus's way, and Jesus himself rebuked those who would forbad such a person. The perspective of Jesus was, "he that is not against us is on our part."
