That means that hank speaks on his own, not of God. Hank is a witness for himself regarding his own faith, and will be judged by his own words regarding others as well. If what hank says comes to pass, he has faith. If what hank says results in no reward in heaven, he will suffer loss.
To condemn prophecy is to make the same error as some did before. They did not accept the Testimony of the Holy Prophets until afterward. Then, they dressed their graves saying that they would not have killed the Prophets or mistreated them. Therefore, seven worse unclean entered the equation as Jesus and Paul said. The Righteous Commandment of God produced in me death in the flesh. Paul said something like: Was the law sin, or was sin working in me to produce evil fruits in the flesh that were even worse than those that would have occurred without it? That those who believe should be condemned by men in the flesh according to the law of sin which brings death. For the wages will be paid to the worker. The one who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave does not remain in the house forever, but children remain forever. For if The Son sets us free, we will be free from the law of sin with regard to The Spirit of God. But the wages of sin is death and God freely gave life in Christ.
With regard to the gift of prophecy, it is considered a greater gift to desire most for it is useful for edifying the Body of Christ unto good works.
One must not reduce God to mere teachings taught by people and expect justification by faith. For faith is being sure of what we know and confident of what we do not see. If God does things right in front of the natural eyes of people, and they do not believe, how is that faith? All the more, there would be accountability for those who would not believe on the basis of what they do perceive so that all people are without excuse. For Paul says to the galatians: you foolish galatians, Christ was crucified right in front of you! How can Paul be speaking about this unless it was a vision given to the whole congregation? They were entrusted with more, and were proving less believing.

If Hank is in The Kingdom of God, and not the kingdom of apostasy, then he is held to this same standard if what he says does not come to pass regarding his faith
As ahs been mention Hank doesn't utter prophecy in the sense of foretelling the future. There fore your point on this matter. Where has he written falsely about someone's teachings?
