Just because we are all together does not mean we are prophesying. I was amazed at how everyone either did not know or did not care that he was making such a mistake.
This is cultic behaviour: if you are "driven by the spirit", then whatever you are saying is gospel.

Just because one says it is "driven by the spirit" doesn't mean it is. Could be very much speaking from the soul instead of spirit.
I hear what you're saying. Just because one is taking the floor to speak during the prophesying meeting doesn't mean there is intent to prophesy and edify. Yet that's the argument I get from non-LC brothers whenever quoting 1 Corinthians 14:26. Concern over lack of oversight when one's speaking my not be scripturally correct or is using the floor to express one's opinion.
Typical response by brothers/sisters over concerns is give them grace. They may be spiritually immature, but need to learn. On one hand it's difficult to learn if you're never corrected. If a parent never disciplines their children, how do you expect a child to grow into maturity?
On the hand regarding grace, there should be consistency. Where was grace to the Concerned brothers from the last decade or to the brothers who were quarantined in 1990, Mario Sandoval in Ontario, Ca or "Indiana" in Washington state?
Grace is not so easy to give to brothers or sisters when their "standing" is in question (i.e. can they be trusted?).
