For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. (I Corinthians 15:22-23)

All humans will die as did Adam. Likewise, all humans who die will be made alive again, or resurrected. This includes believers and nonbelievers! But only some will be resurrected to everlasting spiritual life:
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life... (Daniel 12:2)
|
The "some" resurrected to everlasting life will be the believers:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. (Revelation 2:11)
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)
