Paul didn't have kind things to say about the Jews that were demanding that the Gentiles be circumcised. he also made some harsh remarks about those that were saying the resurrection had already happened.
There is a big difference between the teachings of Hymenaeus and Philetus and whether or not short sleeves are appropriate men's wear.
I think there are two ways standards can become a heaven or hell issue:
1 - go to a church where standards are taught and use them as a point to rebel and cause division with backbiting and complaining
2 - to be so strict on them that a person despises and mistreats everyone who doesn't line up to what they believe.
that's it!
