Like I said, for me, I would prefer a more open system. But, I have to also add that there are certainly going to be others who prefer to throttle this whole thing back and most likely, they will do so because of bad experiences in the past. I admit that I have a hard time arguing against people who recount those kinds of experiences.
The elders in DG's scenario are judging "after the fact," however.

My points are that the bible does not talk about a prior approval system before speaking
It's absurd to have someone speak in tongues then a person who has an anointed utterance, not an inspired message written down on paper, to submit it to a board and a week later get an approval and then tell everyone what it was.
What if people who really needed to hear it were not there next week?
