Dear JDWiseman,
You raise an interesting point:
Can you show that Scripture itself actually teaches this method? For example, where does Scripture say that only Scripture "explicitly approves" what we should do in public worship? There is much in that phrase "explicitly approves". (Indeed where does the NT speak of the gathering as "worship")?
It's very often the hidden method that determines EP or not EP.
Every blessing in Christ,
Marty.

But I think the Scriptural method would be to start out with a blank slate, and only write down those things that God has explicitly approved for public worship.
