Regulative and normative principles of worship

I'm blogging this because I keep forgetting it so I need to record it somewhere. The regulative principle of worship basically says that whatever isn't in scripture isn't permitted in worship. The Churches of Christ practice this, as did Calvin, and hence the Reformed tradition. The Churches of Christ say, "where the scriptures are silent, so must we be."The converse is the normative principle of worship, that says if it isn't explicitly prohibited in scripture, it is permitted.

So hopefully if I forget again, I remember that I blogged it...
