I've heard that argument before and I even believed it for a while, until I started looking into what worship really is. The problem with that view of worship is that we end up calling worship whatever we feel we doing "for God" that measures up. In other words, we become the measure of what is right and how well we are doing.

Only the Scriptures are the measure of what is right and wrong in every part of life. Therefore, only those things which are righteous by biblical standards can rightly be called acts of worship.

The true regulative principle is not that Scripture is to regulate what we do in church meetings, it is that Scripture is to regulate what we do throughout our lives. Those who think of worship as something that one does in a building for an hour or two have a compartmentalized and unbiblical view of the worship of God.
