but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.

I think you are correct with your observation but I do not think calvin was sinning....I think he was showing daily reverence for Go only not considering what he did to be public worship..I may be wrong..but I believe I read that in a taext on the History of Protestantsim.Originally Posted by Unashamed 116

May we all be Sons of the Reformation and continue to proclaim what it means to be Reformed Protestant Christians! Being Protestant means we protest heresy and we proclaim the truth of the Gospel.
No. Scotland had weekly [weekday] meetings as well. George Gillespie discusses this at several points in his Dispute Against the English Popish Ceremonies.

Does it? I'm inclined to say that'd be an example of the regulative principle run amok, especially since it's hard enough in the first place to find a direct biblical command to gather for worship on the first day of the week, the practice being inferred from indirect references.

The Lord's Day is the day specifically set apart for corporate worship, however I don't see anything in Scripture and/or our Confession that limits the saints to gathering only on this day.WCF 21.7
As it is the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in his Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment binding all men in all ages, he hath particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him: which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's day, and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath.

"Observe, that it is the character of Christ's faithful servants, whether ministers or Christians, to observe and do all things whatever He has commanded them in His word. It is not what kings, parliaments or assemblies, command, but what God commands, is the rule by which they walk; the laws of men must be tried by the law of God." -- Ebenezer Erskine, "The Whole Works of Ebenezer Erskine" Vol. II, pg. 300-301
