Correct, He did not die for them who never believe and obey. That's because His Death gives obedience to Him.
No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

I am glad you affirm that God determined humanity would be free to repent of sins or else reap justice in hell.
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
No, YOU said "God has determined that, B4 we are born", and the antecedent of "that" was my saying "God determines that all sinners can repent and all who refuse reap a just hell", so you DID affirm such "falsehoods", or were YOU being dishonest?
Well to clarify, I believe God has predetermined, b4 we were born, who is going to be saved by Him, and who He is going to damn in hell of their sins. Now that said, if God has predetermined one to be saved by Him, He gives them Faith and repentance in saving them, and the ones He predetermined to damn in hell, He withholds salvation blessings such as faith and repentance and confirms them in their disobedience and wickedness. So I would not confirm that all sinners can repent, that's a falsehood.
1 Corinthians 2 tells us we are Saved by God's grace. Not of ourselves, our work,so we are then incapable of boasting we Saved ourselves by working for our redemption.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Can you let us know which New Testament works you believe Christians do not have to obey?
That's Scripture.
Many who consider the New Testament don't realize the Old Testament is its foundation and relative. The Gospel is a consistent perfect narrative of redemption,reconciliation, and eternal irrevocable Salvation predetermined by God before the foundation of the world.
Some demean that narrative with the dismissive judgement, Calvinism!
When it is God. And his will and plan.
The Calvinism opponents,who are sometimes Armenians, fail to realize John got his teachings from others before him. And they all derived their understanding from what God said.
Your contention regarding Baptism is requsite or we are not Saved makes the onus yours.
Show the Scripture that teaches us, we are not in God's grace of irrevocable Salvation unless we are Baptized.
That's Scripture.

Calvin got his tulipism from Augustine,
who failed to understand God had said He loves even His enemies and wants everyone to repent and be saved.
God wanted everyone to be saved including you, but today is the day and ends with death, then just reaping.
Don't get caught in this trap brightfame52 I entertained this a bit but how could it justify a just God. Imo which goes quite fluently with scripture is to say God predestined salvation before the foundations were formed. As in Christ was predestined.
God was not at all caught off guard with the fall of man.knowing the end from the beginning had already establish salvation and atonement.
The work of God is to believe the son first and foremost. It is God who desires all come to repentance. For he has no joy in the destruction of the wicked.
There are some because they refuse to except the truth that God turns over to reprobate no matter how God has made himself known.
You will see this in Revelation where even God has angels proclaim the Gospel but still they refuse.
Predestination of people does not fit God's nature .
Paul even said that God can save from the uttermost but a person that refuses to believe no matter what they have seen or heard is simply lost beyond reason.
