“(but we disregard such shameful excess because they are “spirit-filled”, which apparently overrides the responsibility”
No, we do not excuse this at all. We forgive. And we let the Spirit and Scripture direct us as to what action to take according to the sin.
All sin has consequences, even for a Spirit-filled believer. We are most certainly not given a pass by God nor should we be given one by our fellow believers. However, our salvation is never jeopardized as a result of our sin.
And one need no education or learned qualifications to understand the simple truth of the Gospel. It is so simple a small child can understand.
The problem is with forgiving those who are not repentant. Numerous examples come to mind, such as two well-known Pentecostal evangelists (male & female) who were "caught in the act" - photographed exiting a Rome hotel hand-in-hand. As far as I can see, there has been no calling into account, and their "ministries" continue to attract the faithful (and their money).

No argument on this point. As I was taught by the song we sang in Sunday School: "Trust and Obey"
