I don't see this as a problem to be avoided, I see it as a symptom of a more serious issue.
Let me ask a question...
Are these people being properly discipled?
Jesus didn't call us to go out and make "members" of a church to sit on a pew, listen to a sermon, and give their money to us. Jesus called us to go and make "disciples". If a person would say some of the things like what you're saying above, I think they are not being properly discipled. Sure, new converts might say something that's off. You'll get that in a house church or any setting. But someone who has known the Lord for a month or more should know better and have a growing and biblical foundation for their faith.
Part of the problem is... a lot of these people have never been allowed to speak or to address the congregation. They don't know or understand that they are there to edify.
