Things that accompany Christ !

If one doesnt become a believer in Christ, a follower like Jn 10:26-27

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Then Christ didn't die for them, for following Him is a benefit of His Death
Christ laid down His life for "the sheep", not just "my sheep".

(John 10:11) “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

"The sheep" are a combination of "my sheep", "lost sheep", and "other sheep" (Gentiles). In other words, "the sheep" is the whole world (Jews & Gentiles) so Christ's Atonement is unlimited.
 
The elect were put in Christ Jesus before the foundation, 1 Cor 1:30

30 But of him[The Father] are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Paul called them the chosen a few verses earlier 1 Cor 1:27

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

That word chosen is the same greek word Eph 1:4

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Both times its aorist middle indicative, God made this choice for Himself putting them in Christ, so that settles that rabbit trail.
Yes God put Christ in you and you are in him. But we need to walk in him and this is not understood.

Wrong the Gentile Sheep are His Sheep as well, cant you read ? Jn 10:16

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

I have in the greek ἔχω:
to have i.e. own, possess
Those other Sheep already belonged to Him, so they were His Sheep as the jewish were. And all mankind isnt His Sheep neither every ethnic jew Jn 10:26

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

So all Gentiles are saved as his sleep? You just exposed your Universalism. You are a Closet Universalist.
