Regarding a pastor making a statement like: "they may can get to heaven by doing that, but they won't in my church", I think the instances of that type of statement are probably rare and you're posing of the question is probably more for dramatic effect than substance; albeit it is still a valid question. As someone stated in this thread way earlier, If and when a pastor makes such a stand, it is up to the membership of that church to decide whether they are going to stand with him or not.

I seem to remember Epley making such statements..... And if he did, I am sure there are many many others.
