Instruments in church why and why not

I have some biblical reason people choose to use instruments. Here are first some texts to consider. Ephesians 5:6-21
Let love be genuine.
Instruments are included throughout the bible.
I played the flute for you and did not dance. You sang a durge and you did not mourn is Jesus's words.
Psalm 150. 
Numerous times in the old testament there is mentioned playing instruments in worship.
Numerous passages mention instruments in revelation.
On earth as it is in heaven rules.
Near death experiences in heaven have instrument and no instrument.
God wants expressivity in the highest form in genuine love.
Sanitification is never said to change instrumentally. Psalm 150 to non instrumental. 
The church has over a thousands of instrumental service before and after the reformation. Jamming out with instruments in worship has been around for 10000 years. 
Pitch pipes are an instrument. 
God talks about clap offerings.
God did not undo offerings in the law.
A Capella is a form of worship not the only kind of worship.
Why Acapella may have been popular in the early church: presecution. 
God tells people to add instruments to their music.
Words in the global christian church consistently worship with and without instruments. God does not change Psalm 150 was suitable worship.
Worship in the first century was jamming out polyphonic and monophonic on paper. Polyphonic on paper isn't recorded till centuries later, yet we use polyphonic on paper.
Restriction in worship isn't the point, expressivity is. Let love be genuine.
National leaders in the church endorses psalms 150.
The papal order endorses both. The general church has used both the whole time. The mic,sound systems,radio computer midi, CDs, records are included as instrumentation. Shape notes and solfest were invented later.
Jewish synagogues that were christian included things such rams horn playing before reading Scripture in the synagogue.
Music in all forms is amoral it does not have morals attached to it. Worship is a heart matter to God preference. Christianity is not based on labelism but belief. Anything that makes sound can be considered an instrument. What God created is considered good.
Preferences are not considered law.
Arguments it is a sensual spirit to include instruments. Sensuality is not talked about in Psalm 150 it is expressivity with your whole heart. A high in worship isn't sensuality it is euphoria. A high spiritual euphoria is a deep presence of God even resulting in miracle revivals healings and creative miracles such as spontaneous worship. This is what is known as spiritual songs and worship in it most pure form. When even things are created by the Holy Spirit. The voice of the Lord is presence. The voice of the Lord creates. People get slain in the power of God. They fall under the power changing them the flesh is subdued and people do things by God's power such as miracles, messages, and deliverance miracles.
