I've been down that road of separating compliance from conviction on pretty much everything I believe, and boy am I glad!

Wrong premise. He equated it with backsliding -which it isn't (other then on a personal conviction level of course).
If this had ever been my pastor I probably would have sent him these pictures on a Christmas postcard -after about two years if course, so he could "brag" to the congregation about having prophesied about it.
From the card:
Our house!
Our tree!
