Is that it in a nutshell? |
I would deny "duty faith" on two grounds; (1) I do not believe that God will punish those who never hear of Christ for not believing in Christ. (2) I believe that faith is personnal and so a part of saving faith is believing not the axiom of "Christ died for sinners" but rather "Christ died for me" and that being true faith can in no way be a duty for otherwise God has placed man under the duty of believing a lie for Christ died not for all.
