They tend to hang together, but I guess anyone could come to conclusions and hold to only one and not the other. For instance, Southern Presbyterians like Thornwell, Girardeau, Dabney, Adger, etc. were non EP but opposed to musical instrumentation in worship. There were some exceptions the other way I suspect though rarer I think; I don't recall any names.
Do people actually sing psalm 150, deliberately acapella and immobile? Seems as if that is like boasting of humility or hanging foamrubber windchimes.
