PSA: What is Implied in Christ's Substitution; What Death Did He Die?

That does not say that Jesus redeems all people even unbelievers. For one thing Peter is not advancing a theory of the atonement but pointing out the responsibility of the false teachers. They claim to be redeemed but their sensuality (v.2) brings dishonor to Christ and his sacrifice for sin. If Peter were saying that Christ's death on the cross purchased all people, even unbelievers it would contradict John 10: 15 and every place that says believing gives eternal life and not believing gives damnation and eternal hell.
 
But 2 Peter 2:1 says:

“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.” (2Pe 2:1 NKJV)

That verse certainly does not say that Jesus redeem all humans, including unbelievers, which is what you were saying.
