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.

Doesn't the pastor have an obligation to set boundaries in the church? At some point every pastor has to apply the Word in different situations. I believe this where prayer is imperative.
