Sabbath Keeping Is Not Required For New Testament Christians: Seventh-Day Adventists

Seventh-Day Adventists say "keeping the Sabbath" (their so-called "seal of God") means church services are held on Saturdays. Seventh-day Adventism grounds its membership from the cradle to the grave in the "scriptural obligation" to keep the Jewish Sabbath. Adventists believe that from Friday sundown until Saturday sundown they must do nothing more than is absolutely necessary to carry on life, with the exception of religious observances. Disallowed activities include TV watching, secular radio listening, sports, one's vocation (with exception of medical services and the ministry), and school study. If any so-called Christian church worships on Sunday then it has "the mark of the Beast." Naturally the Seventh-Day Adventists are deceived. The Holy Spirit is the "seal of God" to the believer. II Cor. 1:21-22, "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." See also Eph. 1:13-14 cf. Eph. 4:30. Even Jesus was accused of not keeping the Sabbath (John 5:18). The Bible allows liberty to worship on any given day. Romans 14:5, "One man regards one day above another... Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind." By following what the Bible clearly says in this verse could hardly mean that one has the "mark of the beast."
"The New Testament has ample evidence that the seventh day Sabbath is no longer a requirement. The entire section of Rom. 14:1-12 is worth careful study. Nevertheless, the instructions here are that individuals must be convinced in their own minds about which day they observe for the Lord.
