I dont see Christs name mentioned 2 Pet 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
So...
Propitiation is accomplished by Christ, He is the propitiation, then its apprehended by Faith
Faith is given to the Sheep for whom Christ died, if a person abides permanently in unbelief Jesus says, its because they were not of His Sheep which He died for Jn 10:26
26 But ye believe not...
Faith is given to them it applies to. If one isnt given Faith then Christ wasnt their proppitiation meaning Christ didnt die for them. The whole world of 1 Jn 2:2 is saved.
And it must not be confused, faith isnt that which propitiates Gods wrath, Christ is, faith embraces the Truth of what...
Justification and Union with Christ !
In order to ever be Justified by Faith in time, there must have been a Pre existing Union with Christ before Faith in order to faith, in fact this Union needed to exist with Christ ever before He could die for our sins: For the scripture doeth indicate that...
You dont know what propitiation is. It denotes satisfaction to Gods law and Justice, and His wrath is appeased. Now that cannot apply to them that are appointed to wrath as distinct from them that are not for whom Christ died 1 Thess 5:9-10
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to...
Right, the whole world of believers[jew and gentile]. They were separated from the whole world of them lying in the lap of the wicked one 1 Jn 5:19
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
1 Jn wasn't written to none but believers, unbelievers were excluded...
The intrinsic nature of what the atonement of Christ necessitates the salvation, the reconciliation of all for whom it was made. Its purpose was to bring them He died for to God 1 Pet 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God...

The Apostles in their evangelistic campaign in the Book of Acts never stated to anyone that Christ died for you. They presented the facts about Christs death and resurrection, but never said to anyone God loves you and Christ died for you. Read the 1st sermon in Acts 2 and see if you find...
Yes He died for the sin of unbelief or else how could God have mercy on it ? The elect remnant God shut them up in unbelief in order to show them mercy Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Paul being part of that remnant, God had mercy...
I havent assumed anything, if you mean me, what I know is pretty clear cut stated as a specific fact, Christ died for His Church specifically Eph 5:25 and or His Sheep specifically stated Jn 10. Now for any to go beyond that, its assumption !
I dont see any contradiction, and I have plenty of posts you can read of what I have explained on this matter in this very thread. Apparently you not really interested in my explanation since thats what I have been doing since I joined this discussion.
The word only doesnt have to be stated, its implied by the congruity of scripture truth. Paul specified who Christ died for Eph 5:25 and Jesus did as well Jn 10:11,15 so the foundation is firmly set on for whom Christ died. To go beyond the foundation is foolish assumption.
So you just going to ignore all those scriptures, thats fine. And yes it is correct, all those verses you quoted pertained to Gods elect, and I answered the one which referred to 2 Pet 2:1
