The seventh day Sabbath is the holy set apart day of God, blessed and sanctified by God. It is part of creation, the fourth commandment, was never abolished, made for man, and is a sign between man and God. Genesis 2:3, Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 20:20, Leviticus 19:30, Isaiah 56:2, Mark 2:27-28, Acts 13:14, Acts 17:2, Luke 13:10-17

Salvation is for all and that all Israel will be saved and not replaced. 

We recognize the high holy days as His appointed times for all His people who walk in His ways, and not solely for those born Jewish. We go by the calendar dates from Israel concerning His Holy Days, desiring not to argue and to “avoid foolish controversies … and strife and disputes about the Torah,” which are “unprofitable and worthless” (Titus 3:9).  We agree that the responsibility of determining the calendar does not fall to us; it falls to the established and recognized leadership of the entire nation of Israel. In the days of the exodus, that was Moses and Aaron.
