How does one get from the second commandment to the Regulative Principle of Worship? Here is the logic of Thomas Vincent in his exposition of the Shorter Catechism:
1. That God must be
worshipped by some means.
2. That is a sin to worship God by graven images.
3. That by consequence, it is a sin to worship God by means
he hath not appointed in his word.
4. That therefore it is a duty to worship God by the means
which he has appointed, which being his ordinances, they must be received, observed,
and kept pure and entire.
