Great points Bruce.
I think it helps to remember what the confession teaches concerning the RPW; that it's not just those things that are positively expressed that are binding, but also those things that may be deduced by good and necessary consequence; such things are equally binding.
WCF 1:6 The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men.
