You are left with the undeniable fact that nowhere do we find Christ's church (Jews and gentiles together) worshiping on the last day sabbath of the Jews. Nowhere, unless you have a verse or two hidden up your sleeve.

Acts 18:24-26

It is very sad to see one continue in their Roman apostasy, knowing full well their error....but refusing to acknowledge it.

That seems a tad strong. Personally I see nothing in scripture to support either Saturday or Sunday worship. In fact, I would argue that all of this has been done away with:

Jhn 4:21-23 Jesus *said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

Gal 4:9-11 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

For sure, believers are commanded to come together, but I would argue that having a set time for worship service is strictly for our convenience-not something that God emphasizes. Any emphasis on a set day is unfounded. God did away with it all.

Acts 18:24-26 ... It is very sad to see one continue in their Roman apostasy...

We've been here before.

Read #458 and #462.

There is no mention of the worship of baptized Christians (Jews and gentiles) in Acts 18. There is a discussion of the customary worship of Jews on their sabbath, and the habit of Paul, Apollos, and others to preach Christ to them on their day.

What you refer to as "Roman apostasy" is merely the recognition of the universal practice of the church according to the Scripture (apostolic teaching) and a refusal to fall under the anti-scriptural teaching of certain old covenant sabbatarian cults.
