This is the nature of most of our "Christian" culture today as the churches become more apostate, not the true Church but those who pretend to be Christians but negate more of the Bible than they obey.

Jesus Christ is the Authority over Every Born-Again Believer
Anyone who accepts the church leaders as the authority over them negates the leading of the Holy Spirit. The church leaders have no authority only Christ does.
John 16:13 "
But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
"and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 "…20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt, 21 but test all things. Hold fast to what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.…"
Whatever we hear from anyone else who claims to be a Christian must be tested through the Bible. The Holy Spirit will never tell us something different from what God says in His Word.
1 Corinthians 14:29
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
This is the order of the church gathering, that no one is the leader except Christ. One begins the proceedings as led by God and the others participate as led by the Holy Spirit. No one takes priority over anyone else.
If one person is speaking and another one has something from the Holy spirit then the first one is to sit down and let the other one speak.
This matter of not allowing anyone in the pew to interrupt is just another control mechanism to dominate over the people in the pews it is not Biblical.
1 Corinthians 14:36-42 "26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.
28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people."
The order of things in the modern church is against what God said and negates the work of the Holy Spirit in every believer.
There are still some gatherings that operate as God commanded but they are so few many of us can't find them in our communities. Especially in the Pacific Northwest which is a bastion of satanic rule.
If the Lord has called you out of the organized apostate church do not allow anyone else to guilt you into thinking you are forsaking the gathering. Remember God said where two or three are gathered He is in the midst. Being at home with your spouse or your family to honor God is a blessing in this age of deep error and deception.
Matthew 18:20
"20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
God considers it a gathering when only two or three are together, if there are more that's good but it is not required to be blessed by God.
We are living in the days just like those of Noah when no one would listen to sound doctrine and most people would be pressured to follow a system and a man rather than Christ.
