It's still kicking. So let's whack that old horse one more time. How does your church determine the day of Pentecost?

My church counts 7 sabbaths from the last weekly sabbath during the days of unleavened bread and adds 1 day to that. Since the last sabbath of unleavened bread was April 7, seven sabbaths from that would bring us to May 26 for 49 days. One more day would be 50 days, May 27th. Pentecost = count 50. This is all per Leviticus 23:15,16

Actually, the calculation should be from the "morrow [next day] after the sabbath" not the "sabbath". Here is what Leviticus 23:15-16 says:

15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

If the morrow after the sabbath [Bikkurim aka First Fruits] is not one of the seven feasts of Israel, can you name the seven feasts of Israel without it???
