SABBATARIAN

(Evangelical)

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:

Exodus 20:10

Churches who are rooted in NOT transferring the solemnity of the 7th day Sabbath to the 1st day of the week. In other words, they keep Sabbath on our Saturday rather than Sunday as a primary doctrine.
