Revelation 2:20

But I have this against you [singular – the congregation/leadership as a whole, or the pastor]: You tolerate (do nothing about) the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet and teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality (illicit sex – Gk. porneia) and eat sacrificial meat.
[This woman, who probably had a different name, refers to Ahab's infamous wife Jezebel, who cunningly and actively led the Israelites away from God and introduced the worship of Baal, see 1 Kings 16:31; 18:4; 21:25. Here in Thyatira there was a woman (the wife of an influential man) who was allowed to run rampant in the church and led them to believe that it was not wrong to visit temple prostitutes and eat sacrificial meat, which was contrary to what was taught, see Acts 15:29.]
