John 3:
17 God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order
that the world might be saved through Him.
18 The one who believes in Him is not condemned; but whoever does not believe
has been condemned already, because he has not put his trust in the name of
the one and only Ben-Elohim.
19 Now this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and men loved
the darkness instead of the light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, so that
their deeds will not be exposed.
21 But whoever practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be made known
that his deeds have been accomplished in God.
Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
That is, if they fully heard (and fully understood) the accurate gospel, and then rejected Christ, that would be the situation said here.
But while many have indeed done just that, many others, today, haven't heard the gospel (or haven't heard it correctly), but have only a 2nd hand version about it that isn't complete or sometimes isn't even correct.
And no one is held accountable for what they do not know or do not intend.
