Don't you realize that a big part of Jesus' issue with the Pharisees was that they added to the "bare minimum" that God gave the people and made that extra stuff a requirement, too??

With all due respect I believe you are confusing what I am saying. There is nothing wrong with a Christian having high standards. Surely you do not feel that we should try and do everything we "can get away with" and still be saved. Once again there are some things a Christian should eschew even if "allowed" under the law of grace. The other side of the coin is of course those who would consider standards of a pastor to equate to salvation, which is certainly adding extra-Bibilical burdens.
