I would need to know more about 1. The speaker and 2. the men who he is calling pirates. He says it took 20 years for one of the splits to occur. Giving the pirate the benefit of the doubt, if he has major theological issues with a church, he is morally obligated to discuss it with the eldership first and I would also grant the pirate to discuss his theological dilemmas with some close friends in church. If he leaves and his friends leave too who have come to the same conclusions, it may be painful to the church but we are to have clear consciouses in worship.

If the pirate suddenly finds himself in a heretical church because of Biblical truth being revealed to him (ie. he finds he has been worshiping in a works-based church) he had better haul in all the fish he can gather out of that church before he heads out and feel good about it!
