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).

Sorry Chris, I only remember hearing a summary of the argument from someone else. I have not got many of his lectures at present.

You could check the CMF articles to see if there is anything there.
No problem; thanks. I have googled the issue to death and have concluded both Gentry's and Bahnsen's material on this is only on audio. Someone posted a transcription of Gentry's argument on PB; the source I've seen referenced has since disappeared. Gentry didn't know anything about the transcription.

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.”
