Offhand: I agree that it is serious error, but would not class it as damnable heresy. It has no direct implications for the gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone on the basis of Christ's work alone. The believer is unconscious -- not working off (or sweating off) his sins.
Nor does it impact the Deity of Christ, the Trinity, the sufficiency of Scripture, or other fundamentals.
It is an error, but if one is sound on Christ and the Gospel, yet accepts this error, I don't see it as automatically meaning that he is lost forever.

Let's say person X thinks he's going to die, lie in the ground in a comatose state, and one day awaken with no sensation of time having passed.
Does that not require an unusual hermeneutic?
