The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?

Though there was no date, this I think is fairly old. For reviews of Frame's faulty view of the RPW, see Smith and Lachman's "Reframing Presbyterian Worship: A Critical Survey of the Worship Views of John M. Frame and R. J. Gore The Confessional Presbyterian 1 (2005) 116-150, and Frank J. Smith, Ph.D., D.D. with Chris Coldwell "The Regulative Principle of Worship:Sixty Years in Reformed Literature Part One (1946–1999)" CPJ 2 (2006) 89-164, and Part Two (2000–2007) CPJ 3 forthcoming (2007) 159-219.

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

The CPJ 1, 2, and 3 has an incredibly thoroughgoing analysis of the RPW with specifce reference to Gore et al.

Thanks Rich; let me add: Frame may be good on many things (for instance he is cited well in W. Gary Crampton's piece on Open Theism in the 2006 issue of The Confessional Presbyterian) but he is simply OFF the Westminster reservation on the RPW and that is putting it kindly.
