Yes,God says either you are with him or you are against him, there is no lukewarm.
When you decide not to choose you still have made a choice.

3:15 I know thy works, and from thy cup I cannot drink because thou offerest a drink unto me that is neither cold nor hot; I would that thou would bring forth a drink offering of cold or hot.
Referencing this figurative description of a person’s works (offerings) to the “drink offering” commanded in the Mosaic Law as described in Old Testament writings, John places emphasis on the difference between works that are acceptable to God and works which are not. Drinks are either offered “cold,” to cool and refresh the body, or “hot” to soothe and warm it. Any drink that is lukewarm serves no purpose.
3:16 So then because thou offerest that which is lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue it out of my mouth.
Jesus said it this way:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21)
When Christ comes again, there will be many who have convinced themselves that they have led righteous Christian lives, only to find out upon listening to what the Lord teaches as real truth (that which is “spued out of my mouth”), that they have done none of the works consistent with the Royal Law of the Father:
If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. (James 2:8)

Its better to be good for something then to be good for nothing.
Lukewarmness has crippled modern day Christians. Not applying what they know and being complacent towards the issues that is plaguing many of their principles they should be keeping, living, learning, and knowing.

Revelation 3:16
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Yes. We are not tasty unless we are sizzling, so to speak.
