if you feel that you should never have a drink of alcohol, GOD BLESS YOU!!
But just don't tell me I can't, because that isn't Bible...
ya know? (note: that was an example, not trying to turn this into an alcohol debate, I just used the first thing that came to my head that people use to describe this paradigm...)

I agree with what you are saying, somehow we need to correctly understand that standards are the pastor's personal convictions for his church or an organization's etc. And as such they should be high especially for Apostolics, but they should not be confused with the plan of salvation, and be the cause of such disunity as was demonstrated today.
