Yes, the fourth commandment sabbath (one day in a cycle of sevens) remains. I wish though, Christians would admit, that one day in seven is all the fourth commandment says. It does not identify a particular day of the week, these did not have names during the Bible narrative. Based therefore, on the text of the fourth commandment only, it cannot be determined if it was Saterday or Sunday.
