It's one of the main reasons house churches have become so popular.

House churches... are most frequently a one man show.

Those that don't agree with everything the one man running the house church says... get the left foot of fellowship right out the door.

@Triumph1300, if you compare the three lists of spiritual gifts in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4, you will discover that the gift of speaking in tongues is only mentioned in one. Therefore, a good conclusion is that the lists are descriptive of those churches' gifts and that only the church at Corinth was given it. It's not that God is "a respecter of persons"; it's that he gives his gifts where they are needed
Did you receive the gift of tongues, Bruce?

You haven't been to the right home church. However, in most good ones, someone with kooky ideas or a desire to control the meeting will get shut down.

Because the service is over and they want to beat the Baptists to Cracker Barrel.

Why are Christians leaving their churches?
Because some Christians see the garbage going on in some churches.
Many are turning into "social places", without any gospel being preached.
Some turn into political groups. Sad story.
Others have power struggles within the leadership.
And there are a bunch of them developing into religious cults.
People also leave because of sexual and spiritual abuse.
Many are greedy for money. It's called financial abuse.
