The Sabbath is binding on Jewish people, not Gentiles.

That's not Biblical. Read Mark 2:27 “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”. It does not say the Sabbath was made for Jews but for mankind.

Ah, note I did not say Gentiles could not keep the Sabbath, nor that it wasn’t a good idea.

The OBLIGATION, however, to keeping the Sabbath only applies to the Jewish people.

The OBLIGATION (the mitzvah; command; contract term) first appears at Mt. Sinai, Exodus 31.13

“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying: Verily ye shall keep My sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the LORD who sanctify you.”
