I never said that that church "wouldn't survive."
No, you just present it as some doomsday scenario, whereas I see it as an opportunity to separate the wheat from the chaff. It makes me think of when the church faced actual persecution, and when Stephen was murdered, the church spread.

But here's another facist to all the madness. We're racing to a future where any private held beliefs will not only threaten a church's mission, but also could very well send churches into hiding (once performing gay "marriages" is mandatory) and also private citizens will have their ability to earn a living be threatened.
Then let the state punish churches who refuse to comply. Why are we so afraid of "persecution"? Our comfort has led us to live in fear of losing said comfort. It's what has helped give rise to charlatans like Robert Jeffress.

You want to be a manager at XYZ company? Sign this policy statement.
You mean like companies already do? If you want to be employed by a company, you adhere to their policies. I just sent out an email to all of our managers on pronoun usage, and we addressed transgender restroom access in the spring. I told every single one that if you don't like the policy, you're more than welcome to come to my office and submit your resignation. Companies set their policies on any number of things. You either comply or leave. You aren't entitled to a job there.

Parents will have their ability to educate their children (and protect them from gay indoctrination) be threatened.
"Gay indoctrination"...oh brother.

Yes, well, no one can deny the incredible speed with which ideas move from "extreme" to "mainstream" in today's Democrat Party. We've watched it repeatedly in the last decade.
Heck, that applies to the GOP as well. I remember not too long ago that "character counts". Now, just a short time later, all that matters is winning.

Are you paying attention?
Yep. I'm just choosing to not live in a state of hysterical fear.
