My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

I've seen that too and always thought it a bit odd. OTOH, the person speaking in tongues 'has no understanding' as Paul says, so in practical terms it's not a great deal different than if someone else feels led to interpret - unless the only reason the person brings forward an interpretation is more about being embarrassed than being inspired.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

One thing that sort of complicates the matter is that in the OT, prophecy seems somewhat conditional. Jonah prophesized that Nineveh would be overthrown in 40 days, with no "if" in there. As we know, they repented and Nineveh was spared.

Granted, they only compared a few people and maybe things changed since then, but it was something I remember.

Noun -- Prophecy
Verb -- Prophesy, prophesied (not "prophesize," "prophesized")Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

On the issue of NT prophecy: ISTM that passages like Acts 2:17-18 and 1 Cor. 11:5; 12:10; 14:1,26, 31, 39 suggest that ever since the beginning of the "Last Days," prophetic gifts were to be widely distributed and eagerly desired. The inclusion of instructions like the last clause of 1 Cor. 14:29 and 1 Thess. 5:21 -- both occurring in the immediate context of prophecy being endorsed -- show that it was expected that mistakes would be made. But there is no indication that any punishment was to occur, at least in the case of simple mistakes.
Craig Keener discusses the gift here and here.
Sam Storms addresses it here, here, here, and here. (FTR, I of course do not concur with his patriarchal understanding of certain verses, especially 1 Cor. 1:34-35.)Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

One thing occurred to me - maybe this is offbase, but if these people are maintaining that Trump is still secretly the President to try to maintain these prophecies... that seems an awful lot like the full preterist position that Jesus has secretly returned but that it's not discernable to any of us."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
