what is faith?

If Jesus' sacrifice was a once and for action ... doing anything that seeks to forgive us of our sins with a repeated nature does one of two things

1. States we never had faith

2. States Jesus alone is not enough, thus 1 still

How does this apply to certain church denominations

holy holy ... whichday?

If it is possible for some to consider some days more holy than others, while other people may consider every day as equally holy ... how will this apply to sundays?  To recognised church services?

In the former situation, there is not much more to say.  If one day is more important than another then certain things can only occur on that day.  They do not happen on others.  If it is argued that they can occur on other days, then the reason for the importance of the chosen separated day is the 'why it occurs on at day'.

However, if you are someone who considers every day as equally holy and arguing for a move away from focusing on Sundays then ... it is possible to take one of two approaches

1. Sunday  needs to becomes like every other day, or
2. every other day needs to become like Sunday
   

In effect, this is the same thing but with drastically different outcomes

1. The first dilutes Sunday because it was once considered 'more holy' and the others by virtue of this belief 'less so'.
2. The second makes the other days equally significant as Sunday because the once be 'lesser days' must now take on the sacredness of Sundays. 

And since prayer, worship, sacrament, faith, service, etc cannot be watered down, as each act no matter how infrequent is full, the second option seems more viable.
So what is implied by Jesus' comment that "the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath" in the context that every day may be considered as the Sabbath?
That is God introduced rest because men need rest.  Not.
There is a rule of rest so men must take it to justify its existence.
