If not, they are false prophets and the penalty for that in the OT is stoning.

I’m sure you are aware that Jesus spoke many times of the improper stoning of Prophets by so called believers. Those same believers related to the earlier murderers of the prophets, went so far as to crucify the Lamb of God.

It appears you are NOT aware that it was Almighty God who commanded that false prophets be executed. The "improper" stoning was done to true prophets God sent to warn and teach His people and they rejected them.

    Then the LORD said to me, “They have spoken well. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name. But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death.”

    You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?” When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him. (Deut. 18:17-22)
