One person's heresy is another person's strongly held beliefs. (Although some heresies are more high-status than others. Prosperity Gospel is a pretty low-status one as heresies go.)

Most heresies don't overtly contravene canon text, though (see for instance Matthew 19:21-30, the tale of Lazarus, and so on).
