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.2 Pt 2.1
