Will God judge me (punish me) for that?

That's His decision, but I don't think so.
However, I think when a pastor teaches something that is not Biblical and teaches it as a heaven or hell issue and it causes someone to feel they have to abide because it's coming from the man of God, then he could be held accountable for that.
That's why in my opinion, it's best to teach the Word of God and pastor your people, instruct, admonish, water them, give them room to grow, but not put undue strain on them with "your" (the pastor's) own convictions.
Does that make sense? Within the Apostolic ranks there are 100's of different rules and regulations and one group doesn't agree with the other - it shouldn't be that difficult if everyone was following what God intends.
