I believe Ray Lanning's church is now RPCNA.

The only time I ever posted anything there was to ask why the ARP had adopted the 1903 PCUSA revisions that the OPC rejected in 1936. I received a good answer, but my question also caused a short lived furor when at least one of the ministers argued that there was nothing wrong with them.
I would think the majority don't see anything wrong with them or they'd have dropped them; and that may still happen I suppose if it caused a furor. The ARP nearly went liberal and a grass roots effort turned it back to some extent.

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.”
