The Sabbath

Both the Father and the Son command that a Sabbath be kept, and we keep it. The command is given to each person, so which day and what it requires is between that person and God.

Both the Father and the Son command that a Sabbath be kept. This is plain, and we keep it.

The command is given to the person, not to the institution. This church does not legislate which day a believer keeps or what keeping it requires of them. That is between each person and God.
