How do we know the doctrine of duty faith is false?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of duty faith contradicts the fundamental teaching of Scripture regarding divine sovereignty and regeneration.

The doctrine of duty faith claims that every person has the obligation to believe in Christ for salvation. However, this notion has no scriptural support. Prominent passages are misapplied; for instance, Romans 9:16 emphasizes that salvation is not dependent on human will or effort but on God's mercy. Furthermore, John 6:44 clarifies that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them. The argument for duty faith rests on a misunderstanding of the nature of belief, which is a gift from God rather than a task for man. The overwhelming biblical evidence points instead to divine election, sovereign grace, and the necessity for heart transformation by the Holy Spirit.
