Absolutely. No question.
However I would explain what caused me to change, with the scriptures, and allow them to be good Bereans and determine for themselves if those things were so according to the scripture.
But if they believed I was in error then yes they'd have every right to leave.
That's one thing. However if another pastor was telling them they need to leave, unless I am teaching damnable heresy demonstrated from scripture (like say performing a homosexual wedding, or saying Muslims and Hindus are saved without Christ for example) then it would be very much out of line for another to interfere with those people who God in His Providence and Sovereign will has placed under my care. IMO
