Church shouldn't seek to be big tent or small tent. It should stand up for the truth.
"“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter." (Matthew 7:21)
It doesn't do anyone any good if we make them feel good, but they are being fooled about being a child of God and are caught surprised at the final judgment when they are thrown in Hell.
At the same time, we are all fallen humans that all have some error in our beliefs and fail to live life fully according to God's will. It is difficult to find the right balance of correcting error so people are not misled and miss out on a true relationship with Christ, but we don't want to be a Pharisee either who judges all who don't live according their own man-made interpretations of good. Being perfectly in balance is very difficult. I'm not sure anyone acts and thinks in perfect balance. Most of us error to the strict or the permissive side. We need to seek to speak "... the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ," (Ephesians 4:15)
