Regulative principle of worship
The regulative principle of worship is a 20th century term used for a historical Calvinist teaching on how the second commandment and the Bible orders public worship. The substance of the doctrine is that only those elements that are instituted or appointed by command or example in the Bible are permissible in worship, or in other words, that God institutes in the Scriptures everything he requires for worship in the Church and that everything else is prohibited.
