There is biblical precedent for a New Covenant people chosen by God as a nation, Jesus told the Jews that the kingdom would be taken from them and given to a "nation" that would bring forth the fruits thereof. Isaiah spoke of the peoples of the isles at the end of the sea (for much of history Britain to everyone in the Old World). Look at the history of Britain with the England/Scotland situation... and the parallels with the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, plus all the promises of earthly inheritance/greatness. The British Empire etc...

Well so did you, otherwise we would have nothing to discuss.

Temporal inheritanace, not his salvation.

That is just a reference from your infallible book. As I understand the restoration - it was a restoration of authority and revelation. So, if God were to say (through a prophet) that the sabbath will be on Tuesdays from hence forth - that would be the new day of worship. Scripture is just a historic reference to revealed religion.
How does that verse in any way suggest that Sunday would be the new sabbath, as opposed to Saturday? Not the I support a Saturday sabbath either, I believe the ceremonial aspect of the commandment was fulfiled in Christ. See Colossians 2:16-17:

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."

Just as with the sabbath issue above, it is clear that water baptism was a Jewish custom and as such was only a shadow of baptism by the Holy Spirit. Sadly people are determined to return to the bondage of the law.
