Thanks!
Do you mean no academic training or just seminary? Samuel Miller studied under his father for the pastorate and Charles Nisbet at Dickinson College.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
