...and hast
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Rom 2:10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11For
there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14For
when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
1 Pet 4:17For the time is come that
judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
The above might seem to suggest that the presently-ungodly will not be saved at all -but elsewhere, scripture explains that they will be
"saved, yet so as by fire".
Some of all nations will be made immortal at the first resurrection.
All else will be resurrected to the second -a thousand years after the first -and judged according to works (not specific beliefs). The judgment is not all doom and gloom as some have supposed -though it will be unpleasant for those whose works were not good and need further purification.
There is not point to resurrection all the rest of the dead to a judgment only to judge that they just die again.
The wording can be tricky, but what is described as the "second death" does not actually END in death -any more than the first death.
Whether Adam specifically is in the first resurrection is between him and God -I can't say -but, if not, he will be in the second.
Notice that death and the grave are destroyed in the lake of fire -as are some who will be saved, yet so as by fire!
Rev 20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
