All TEN of the TEN Commandments included in the Jer 31:31-33 NEW Covenant: "LAW of God written on the heart" - and valid in the NT. Even Paul said "what matters is KEEPING the commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19 where we find that those commandments the "first commandment with a promise" is the 5th commandment. Eph 6:2
(Same "moral law of God" -- the law that defines what sin is 1 John 3:4 in both covenants (agreements) but the covenants themselves are different. NEW Covenant is saved by grace through faith with the new birth included. Old Covenant is "obey and live" as we see explained in Gal 3)
============================
The FACT of God's Commandments - God's TEN Commandments "where the first commandment with a promise" is the 5th commandment Eph 6:2 -- is sooo incredibly obvious that BOTH sides of the classic Sunday vs Bible-Sabbath debate - agree.
I am glad these Sunday sources all affirm the Ten Commandments for Christians, written on the heart under the NEW Covenant.

You say that in response to "do not take God's name in vain" Ex 20:7 ?? seriously?? Have you thought that through???
True... a good place NOT to find "do not take God's name in vain" quoted.
By contrast
Ex 20:11 last verse of the Sabbath commandment: 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Acts 4:24 direct quote from the 4th comm Ex 20:11 "24 And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them,"
Acts 14:15 direct quote from the 4th comm Ex 20:11
15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
Rev 14:7 direct quote from the 4th comm Ex 20:11
7 and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”
Heb 4: "There REMAINS a Sabbath rest for the people of God" Heb 4.. a good place to find direct reference to the Sabbath commandment.
Acts 18:4 Gospel preaching "EVERY Sabbath" - a good place to find direct reference to the Sabbath commandment.
Act 13 - gentiles asking that MORE Gospel preaching be presented "the NEXT Sabbath" - a good place to find direct reference to the Sabbath commandment.
Acts 17:1-5 - Gospel preaching for 3 Sabbaths in a row -- "2 And according to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,"- a good place to find direct reference to the Sabbath commandment in the NT. The Bible Sabbath which you claim to reject from the section of the Bible which you claim to reject.

A foolish trap set by a person who keeps the Old Covenant.

Jesus said:
"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the [age] to come." (Matthew 12:31-32
