Pink begins his piece on duty faith; "It is the bounden duty of all who hear the Gospel to savingly trust in Christ, otherwise their rejection of Him would be no sin. Many of our readers will be surprised to hear that this self-evident truth is denied by some who are, otherwise, sound in the Faith."

Again, unless I'm missing something, Pink begins by making a very strong point.
I admit I'm almost hesitant to provide the link above, because Johnson does such a pathetic job in framing this short piece and he attempts to infer from Pink things he never says. He also praises the unconscionable slicing and dicing of the Banner of Truth (isn't that an ironic name) editors who attempted to neuter Pink's great book, The Sovereignty of God.
