It is.
Though, your question in my opinion highlights the entire issue that orbits the discussion of this thread. That issue being the significant emphasis in the Lords Recovery on this teaching. There isn’t a clear cut verse about this teaching, and it’s a teaching that doesn’t dictate one’s salvation. Yet the Lords Recovery consistently voices this teaching as truth. (A gathering group of Christian’s emphasizes a secondary teaching? Sounds like a denomination). To be blunt, because there is no clear scripture on this doctrine & because it doesn’t dictate salvation, everyone needs to determine the fruit this secondary teaching produces in their life.
Does it cause you to run to God in fear of being “left out” if so, what kind of love is that? Or does it cause you to run to God out of pure love and nothing else?
