The Allegory of King Him (an allegory)
King Him was of another realm. Him was a most powerful feudal ruler of the vast Kingdom of Him. Back in the day, Him sent out ambassadors far and wide. Him messengers represented Him in many realms.
Misrepresenting Him
King Him became extremely angry with some who called themselves Him messengers – because they misrepresented Him. They came under condemnation because they did not use the exact words of Him in their messages. Instead they used their own words, contrary to Him’s instructions.
Messengers of Him were not condemned for being members of any sect, but because they disobeyed the clear instructions of Him. There was a minor confusion because some messengers were of Ancient Cessationism and others of Modern Continuationism. But that was a minor thing, actually.
The real issue at hand
The real issue was misrepresenting Him. King Him was against those who misrepresented Him, making-up words that He had not said to them. They claimed to speak words for Him, but merely spoke their own words about what they thought Him would want.
King Him, back in the more primitive days of OT, had even issued a statement against misrepresenting Him. But false representatives claimed new instructions (from Him) which now allowed them to disregard the statements of Him made back in the days of OT.
So King Him was incensed that the Kingdom of Him ambassadors led people astray with their own words instead of standing firm with the words of Him. So he had their heads.

Here is an allegory MerWeb I wrote for the post: Misrepresenting God. NAR-type Charismatic Churches are rife with supposed ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). But instead of faithfully following the words of God — they misrepresent Christ.
________
2 Corinthians 5:20
So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us; we [as Christ’s representatives] plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God.
________
Ambassadors Excerpt: An ambassador “represents” something or someone or some belief. Countries have ambassadors that are sent to foreign countries to represent their nation to that foreign power. And God has us here.
The Bible says that we, as followers of Christ, are ambassadors for Christ here on earth, in this world.

Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you
“I am against you”, God says Excerpt: Speaking to false prophets back in the day, the Lord God said,
“I am against you”.
– Ezekiel 13:8
* Think about this:
Do you think anyone will be in Heaven to whom God said, “I am against you”?
* Who in Heaven (and much less on earth) will be so pompous, and arrogant, as to stand right in front of God’s very presence and say, “I have a word from God…”, and then merely speak their own words (as if God will agree, or He doesn’t know you are lying)?
Note: He is for
all who come to Him in repentance
with “sincerity and truth”
(Galatians 6:7-8, 1 Corinthians 5:8).
