If a person is reconciled to God, its because their "Faith has been counted by God as (Christ's) righteousness.
Therein lies the reconciliation.

This means that God has accepted the Believers faith in Jesus, and then provides this..

A.) = "GOD who started salvation ....in the born again.... shall Himself be faithful to complete it".

So, that is all related to the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.

A person comes to Christ, and they choose to believe in Jesus, and God sees that faith in their Heart and accepts it, to then apply the NEW COVENANT .. .the Blood atonement.. .to them, as "Imputed righteousness"..

2 Corinthians 5, tells the born again that we are the "ministers of reconciliation"... we are to tell unbelievers that God, through Christ has made it possible for them to be reconciled to God... "BY FAITH in Christ".
They are saved from unbelief and disobedience, that complements their reconciliation to God

Walking by the Spirit
(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26)
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.a2For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set youb free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin.c He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the fleshd cannot please God.
9You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alivee because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the deadf will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Heirs with Christ
12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

You are talking in circular reasoning, again.

Ive told you about 10 times that all the born again will never face God's Wrath.... = never face eternal judgment.

The only who do, are the Unbelievers who are never born again, and died.

Here : Ill post the verse again for you, and this is about 10 X.

John 3:36
Again you promote a false reconciliation, the reconciliation that Christ accomplished #1 It reconciles to God and #2 Saves them[the reconciled] by His Life Rpm 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

And you dont believe !

If Jesus came down from heaven and told you that Calvinism is a false religion, you still would not believe.

I haven't questioned Jesus Christ, I'm witnessing the Truth about His reconciling death, for it ensures that the ones reconciled [by His death] shall be saved by His Life, meaning they will be born again and converted. Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more[on addition to that], being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Now do you believe that or NOT ?
Not like you do

But the scripture says that Jesus has reconciled us and the whole world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. This means that salvation has been provided for everyone, Hebrews 2:9. You need to receive God's great free gift of salvation, Ephesians 2:8.

You deny the reconciling death of Christ, saying the reconciled can loose their salvation if they dont accept Christ. Thats false, they will believe in Christ because He gives them life, faith, repentance. Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

He reconciled whoever is reconciled and saved by His Life. Do you deny that whoever He died for is reconciled to God and saved by His Life ?

You have a serious problem. You don't believe the Bible, you only believe what you want to believe. Jesus has reconciled the whole world unto God, "God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD unto himself" 2 Corinthians 5:19. God does not create mindless robots.

You have the serious problem, denying the reconciling death of Jesus Christ, stating that men can undo it, making it come to naught if men dont accept it. Thats Blasphemy to the Highest Heavens. You give more power to the will of man than to the Death and Blood of Christ !

What about those who never believe in Him ? Did He die for them and reconcile them to God ? Yes or No
He died for the word. But only those who believe will be reconciled.

Just like in the OT. Moses put the serpent on the pole so the people of Israel could be saved, it could have saved them all. But only those who believes and look were saved.

They are saved when they are Born Again then we are saved from eternal damnation.

With respect..you sound incredibly confused....

God knows who will become Born Again...by his seed.

That is not what the Bible says. The scripture says that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2.

Because of what you believe about God and his Son Jesus Christ, you will never see heaven.
brightfame52 is wrong in what he says about who Jesus died for, but you must be careful about your claim about who will or will not see heaven; that is not up to you to determine who will or who won't see heaven.

Whose faith?
The faith of the one to be saved.
The only ones that will call upon the name of the Lord are they whose sins Jesus has redeemed. Matthew 1:21.
The only ones that will be saved are those who call upon the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
I don't need to call on Jesus to save me. He already told me that I have not chosen Him but that He has chosen me. John 15:16
That was spoken to his disciples, the twelve. You are not one of them.
To God Be The Glory
Yes.
