Pastors who call themselves a "prophet"?

Why apply that rule just to prophets, why not apply it to all five ministries?

My sisters go to a tiny pentecostal church and the pastor (who did a doctorate in demonology) calls himself a prophet - "Prophet [first initial] [Last name]". The website usually no longer says what his first name is. My sister said he doesn't want to be famous. On the website he has 14 books that he has written listed - there doesn't seem to be an easy way to buy them. One of my sisters is working on her 4th book (related to Christianity) though she is a speech therapist.

Here are excerpts from a sermon of his from several years ago:

I focused on the parts I found most repulsive but I don't think it is out of context.

I think there is at least one passage in the OT that says that if a supposed prophet gets something wrong, then they should be put to death.

My sisters said that in the NT it says that people can have the gift of prophecy.

So I was wondering what Christians here think about self-proclaimed "prophets"?
