"Who then is Paul (present day or not), and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither is he that watereth; BUT GOD THAT GIVETH THE INCREASE..." (1 Corinthians 3: 5-8)
Seems to me that the "responsibility for success" lies in God's hands (or his watering-can).
But hey...
If a bunch of guys are gonna 'swear an oath (for what else is it?) to follow Apollos and to follow Paul, et cetera.." ...then let them have at it.
