2 Pet 3:9 - 2 Pet 1:1 tells us who Peter is talking to, and it is them that have obtained like precious faith.
Peter includes himself in his instructions, telling them when they commit a sin that separates them from their fellowship with God, temporary, that they should repent Perish=death=separation.
Acts 17:30 - Paul, speaking to the men of Athens, telling them that the unknown God they worship, is the only God.
Paul continues to tell them, forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we (Paul including himself) ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone graven by art and man's device and the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth "all men that are the offspring of God" everywhere to repent.
The word of the Lord came unto the prophet Ezekiel, saying, speak to the children of my people, and say unto them, God has no pleasure in the wicked of the house of Israel (spiritual Israel).
Why do you pick one scripture out, and not consider the content of the chapter?

If you look at the conclusion of the ot after the law of Moses is given and the prophets start to speak
“The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: There is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
Psalm 14:2-3 KJV
“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
“for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:23 KJV
If you think about your question from that perspective it’s quite evident why Jesus had to suffer and die and how salvstion has to be accepted based upon that truth of atonement
then we see how amazing and how full of grace this statement is knowing we’re all condemned already to death because of sin
“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:22, 24 KJV
no longer condemned by the law that says you sinned and must die because now we have this promise which is how all men can be saved and is Gods Will for us
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
and baptism means this to fulfill the requirement of death for sin remember “ the soul that sins must die ?”
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: ( penalty for sin is paid ) that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”( new beginning )
Romans 6:3-4 KJV

It is either genuine or not genuine.. Since the scriptures declare that God is open to everyone being saved then if we have faith in God we must trust Him on His Word..
What ever steps God now takes to allow people to be saved then we who trust Him believe He will be just in what ever He decides to do in regard to providing that avenue for all people to be saved...
