Luk 10:16 ASV - He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.   This is parallel to the Greek meaning of confess with your mouth.       Greek: homologeo  Confess, Confession:  lit., "to speak the same thing" (homos, "same," lego, "to speak"), "to assent, accord, agree with," denotes,(a) "to confess, declare, admit," Jhn 1:20; e.g., Act 24:14; Hbr 11:13;
Luk 12:8 ASV - And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:     So we confess him by his very words of truth , witness to the fact that the gospel of Christ is the living and active word of God . Jesus said he was anointed to preach this gospel of God his father to the world .  
Luk 10:17 ASV - And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name.
Luk 10:18 ASV - And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.
Luk 10:19 ASV - Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.
Luk 10:20 ASV - Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
Luk 10:21 ASV - In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 
 God is not interested in men that are accomplished in this world ,  men of renowned among men   High in status . They have only one thing to measure themselves by their own ability their own fleshly abilities.  There were many wise men in the days of Jesus but they were as the men above . Paul was also one of those men and he persecuted the Church of Jesus Christ .  But God use Paul    he was broken and convicted of the truth of salvation in Christ .
Paul followed the basic scripture that Peter spoke in the book of    Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  This is what Paul did  he was chosen of God to minister the gospel of God .  
Act 9:15 ASV - But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:
Act 9:16 ASV - for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.

This scripture below is why God called uneducated fisherman to become servants and Apostles to preach the true Gospel of God , men of no reputation in the world scorned  and mocked  by the Jews 
1Co 1:23 ASV - but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
1Co 1:24 ASV - but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1Co 1:25 ASV - Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Co 1:26 ASV - For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27 ASV - but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
1Co 1:28 ASV - and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, yea and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
1Co 1:29 ASV - that no flesh should glory before God.
Pride and arrogance is a religious spirit it tears down the very fiber of holiness that Jesus preached .  He said that Love is the fulfilling of the Law  Mat 6:24 ASV - No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.           Mammon:Greek: mamonas
a common Aramaic word for "riches," akin to a Hebrew word signifying "to be firm, steadfast" (whence "Amen"), hence, "that which is to be trusted;" Gesenius regards it as derived from a Heb. word signifying "treasure" (Gen 43:23); it is personified in Mat 6:24; Luk 16:9, 11, 13.

It is the Love of money that is the Root of all evil Jesus said you can tell them by their fruits
The word says that ,  When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:8 ASV - Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave Gifts unto men.        And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;   for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ .

Schools of men called seminary's ,  are schools that teach men the specific doctrines of their religion only .  So I see here that men decide for themselves that they will be a pastor a teacher or even an evangelist but all in the order of their own doctrines .    Mar 7:7 ASV - But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.   Denominations are not the will of God they separate men and God called all men to be the body of Christ who is all and in all.         And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;   for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ .   Jesus gave these gifts to man for the perfection of the saints , unto the work of ministering these men are called by Christ for a specific work . 

1Co 12:4 ASV - Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 ASV - And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 ASV - And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
1Co 12:7 ASV - But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 ASV - For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:
1Co 12:9 ASV - to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
1Co 12:10 ASV - and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Co 12:11 ASV - but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
1Co 12:12 ASV - For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
1Co 12:13 ASV - For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1Co 12:14 ASV - For the body is not one member, but many.
Religion has nothing to do with the gospel of Christ , religion is built upon mans flesh , his fleshly minds                   Rom 12:2 ASV - And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.    God calls us to have the mind of Christ to be transformed by the renewing of our minds  .         Heb 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.    
This is the problem of the true church and it  has been for many years ,  the real church of Jesus has been taken over by men that observer their own doctrines and not the true word of God.     Any man acting in the role or office of a pastor or teacher , evangelist with out being given this gift from Jesus is not called to work in this gift he has no gift at all.  So we see here that down through time a lot of the troubles that plague the church are from these men posing as having the gifts but are not anointed to do so it will never work .  But if they confess to God there in ability's and sin God will heal their life.     But their are also men that are claiming the offices of Jesus but are actors in their hearts deceivers of the truth .

Jhn 10:1 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Rom 12:4 ASV - For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:       Office:   Greek: praxis
"a doing, deed" (akin to prasso, "to do or practice"), also denotes "an acting" or "function," translated "office" in Rom 12:4.
 Rom 12:5 ASV - so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.
Rom 12:6 ASV - And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
Rom 12:7 ASV - or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;
Rom 12:8 ASV - or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9 ASV - Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Rom 12:10 ASV - In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another;
Eph 4:9 ASV - (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10 ASV - He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
 Eph 4:11 ASV - And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 ASV - for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 ASV - till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
