Revelation 3:16-19
Excerpted from: A Place of Safety? (Part 5)

At the same time that the Philadelphia group is promised protection, the Laodicean group is found so distasteful, so unqualified because of a lackadaisical, seemingly couldn't-care-less, worldly, sitting-on-the-fence, neutral attitude that is nothing less than idolatrous. Their problem is self-love and they show their lack of need of Christ by being unwilling to make the sacrifices of a slave of Jesus Christ. It is a scathing denunciation. They are to be spewed out for the purpose of going into the fire.

Fire, when used symbolically to represent a trial, is always viewed as either destructive, purifying or both. Meaning destructive to some, and purifying to others.

We can reach a conclusion here. Conclusion 3 is that lukewarm, uncommitted fence-sitters are going into the fire.
