Last locality I met with, I brought it up with an elder how prophesying is used to put down non-LSM churches. Someone who's visiting might be stumbled by it. For myself, that's why I choose to find another place for my family and I to fellowship. Yes, you could say that type of speaking stumbled me. I was thankful my wife didn't have to hear it being in another room with the children.
Most who consider speaking something might issue in stumbling are not the ones stumbling. Following is from James 3:
For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.
