Hello Bob.
You need to read the entire confession of faith.
OF THE LAW OF GOD
Paragraph 6
Although true believers be not under the law as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified or condemned.
There goes the idea that the Baptists saw themselves as under the law.
Here is what the Baptists think of the Sabbath.
CHAPTER 22
OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP AND THE SABBATH DAY
Paragraph 7
As it is the law of nature, that in general a proportion of time, by God's appointment, be set apart for the worship of God, so by his Word, in a positive moral, and perpetual commandment, binding all men, in all ages, he has particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath to be kept holy unto him, 28 which from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ was the last day of the week, and from the resurrection of Christ was changed into the first day of the week, which is called the Lord's Day, 29 and is to be continued to the end of the world as the Christian Sabbath, the observation of the last day of the week being abolished.
Works of the law are anathema to the Baptists.
You need to read the entire confession of faith.
CHAPTER 19Section 19 of the Baptist Confession of Faith admits to the Bible detail - that the TEN Commandments are included in the "Moral Law of God" and that they are still binding on all Christians.

When the Baptists use the word binding, they do not use it in the way that you do.Wonderful - then you won't mind me pointing to the "Actual details" in section 19 to see if the speculation you offer - fits what is actually in the text.

You seriously need to read the entire text.perfect!
They do not obey the Sabbath commandment, they honor the first day.
- "The same law that was first written in the heart of man continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness after the Fall, and was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai in the TEN COMMANDMENTS, and written in two tables, the first four containing our duty towards God, and the other six, our duty to man."
"Besides this law, commonly called the moral law,"
- "The moral law ever binds to obedience everyone, justified people as well as others,"
Not relevant to the discussion.Then the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Well we did notice that the Baptists do not honor the written ten commandment.Were we just simply "not supposed to notice"??
