The thing I never understood when I was a non-sabbatarian was the reason behind keeping the sabbath, To glorify God and enjoy Him. We do not keep the Sabbath out of a legalistic heart or we would be as those God scolds in Isaiah 58(?), but rather we rest in him, enjoy him, praise him, and recieve blessings from him. I held to the same position as John MacArthur and many others that the sabbath is gone but the Lord's Day stands until I understood passages such as Isaiah 58 and the teachings of Jesus on the sabbath. Also upon understanding that the Lord's Day means giving a whole day to the Lord for worship not just a couple hours in the morning I realized that I held the same posistion as Sabbatarians but for some illogical reason rejected the term Sabbath.
