Exactly.. I doubt many people who have left apostolic churches, would have left if the some of the standards were presented in the light they were meant to be. Matter of fact, if people really love Jesus, they would have wanted to go the 2nd mile attitude rather than only doing what is required, which Jesus himself called an unprofitable servant.
However since most things became "heaven or hell" and preach only that way, rather than pleasing God, it became a bitter scorn.
