I am flabberghasted at those who want to fight and argue about days and seasons.
"5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord,"
I can honestly say, I don't care exactly which day Christ died or which day anyone worships on, these are just distractions from the good news that Christ spilt His precious blood for the sinner so that we could become born again, saved from our sin and from hell.
It is unbiblical to be hammering people, making them believe they are not good Christians or are not saved at all because they do not follow certain days or rituals.
If you feel a need to pick a particular day to worship, then do it, if you are convinced Christ died on a particular day, stay with that. However you cross over into sin when you judge others for not worshiping on the day you do. You also cross over into sin when you fight and argue about which day this or that happened. To discuss is one thing, to badger and harang believers because they do not hold to your view is ungodly and divisive.
I have actually had people unfriend me for using John MacArthur material from time to time. He is a very good teacher, I don't agree with him on everything, but I cannot judge him as unsaved or always wrong because of our disagreements. Sometimes pride causes people to believe that they understand everything perfectly and they end up rejecting believers who love the Lord.
You, I and everyone else have some errors that we believe, no one is perfect in their understanding. To throw another believer under the bus for disagreements that are not salvation issues is arrogant and self righteous.
