Daniel,
Do you recall hearing the lecture in question? Dr. Gentry told me it is essentially the argument he makes (he learned it from Dr. Bahnsen under his teaching).

I find Greg Bahnsen's reasoning on this highly strange for one who was usually so precise; bit like his arguments against EP.

But, at the end of the day, the best of men are men at best.

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.”
