But "good an necessary consequence" is not a "positive command." Where are we positively commanded to worship on the first day of the week?The Reformed (Regulative) Principle of Worship requires a positive command for any element of worship offered to God.WCF 21.1. But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by himself, and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshiped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the Holy Scripture.A "positive command" is not necessary. There is no "positive command" to baptize infants, and yet we do it.
You are confusing a positive command with an explicit command, which is a straw man version of the RPW, a positive command includes what can be deduced by good and necessary consequence (i.e. can include infant baptism, women coming to the Lord's Supper etc.).
