Without any discussion as to the content of the pledge, the answer is "no." A pledge is not, by itself, a sin.
But a pledge to raise someone higher than he ought to be is to become among those that the Apostle Paul would refuse as even elders. And the one that accepted that pledge would be likewise among them.
The problem is not that there is a pledge, but what is pledged.
