But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one your received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." ESV Ed.

Paul emphasized twice the preaching of a gospel contrary to the one he received from Christ.

I do not believe that it is insignificant to add or take away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I believe this is how the enemy is actively operating in many churches - by changing/distorting/twisting the Bible. I don't think it matters the opinions, interpretations of a pastor, preacher, whomever, or their nuances, the only thing that matters is the author's intended meaning and its application to us today.

I agree with those verses completely. I love those verses. I memorized those verses long ago. I fought many on behalf of those verses.

But let's be fair, if you say that the LC's "ADD OR TAKE AWAY" from the gospel of Jesus Christ, then you have to prove it, and not just make some unfounded claim. Secondly, you must apply the exact same standard to every other Christian and church, including your own.
