Some of the pioneers were real "characters". They had no mentors and nobody much to pattern themselves or their ministry after. They were true blue originals.
So many of the men in ministry today in these 4th/5th generation organizations have gone through Bible School, pattern themselves after others so you have a lot of guys that are all kind of cookie cutter imitations.
Some of the guys who come in out of the world and don't get to our Bible Schools have an individuality of sorts.
J. Arnold comes immediately to mind. He was definitely original.
