Phil 1:18 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, (NIV)

Paul's point was that God's Word is going to be preached in spite of people and their individual motives.

Paul did not, however, say that we should reward those people who preach Christ out of selfishness, hate or greed by supporting their so-called "ministries."

Exactly.

I would pray that someones heart is touched from Gods Word. I wouldn't send them a dime.
