Correct.

New American Standard Version of the Bible`But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam*, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. 15`So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans*. 16`Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.  Revelation 2:14-16 (NAS)

Despite their holding fast to Jesus' name and not denying His faith, they were still held to a high standard.  They needed to repent (to change their hearts and minds, and decide to turn away) from the things of idolatry (the worship of anything other than the one true God), sexual immorality, and false doctrines.

Do we hold to any false teachings, or are we involved with idolatry or immorality?  Will He not also war against us with the sword of His mouth if we do not repent?  Jesus said in John 12:

New American Standard Version of the Bible"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.  For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me commandment, what to say, and what to speak."  John 12:48-49 (NAS)
