I believe they do view their non-sabbatarian position as exegetical. They would claim there is no positive command in scripture to observe a Christian sabbath. They would state the sabbath was part of the Law, and therefore fulfilled by Christ's perfect obedience to the Law. Their support for observing the Lord's Day are scriptures such as: Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Hebrews 10:25, Ephesians 5:14. They would also draw correlations to the practices of covenant Israel. The only reason I am seem like an apologist for these churches is because I was one of them. You call it a happy inconsistency. It may be. My own sabbath position is somewhat muddled, although I am reviewing it.
