Will Rod Meldrum get excommunicated?

A serious charge against Meldrum from his ecclesiastical leader that has been called by God to judge Meldrum's worhiness:
Oops! Actually, that comes from Allan Wyatt.
If Meldrum is doing as Allan states, he's basically pulling a "Sonia Johnson" or an "Avraham Giliadi" and is on the path to excommunication. It's actually amazing he's lasted this long.
Unless of course, those holding the proper authority to make the call, Allan Wyatt not being one of them, do not believe that Meldrum is forcing his own revelation outside his stewardship.
I think that Meldrum, so long as he can keep in control, will be just fine, and not excommunicated. I recognize the possibility he might get revelations later on that will create tension with the church, but until that's happens if it indeed ever does, it looks like Meldrum is in harmony with gospel teachings.
I'd say Allan Wyatt owes Meldrum an apology.
Wyatt also claims that it will be easier for anti-Mormons to raise their hands in victory if Meldrum continues to grow in popularity. I don't see how that could be the case since no FARMS or FAIR article has ever gained academic acceptance anywhere and there's no evidence at all to indicate that anyone who doesn't already have a testimony finds anything FARMS or FAIR puts out to be remotely convincing or credible.
