The text does not say thatThey never had their 'first chance' yet, because they were never "predestined, called, chosen, or ordained TO believe" (multiple verses) as the scriptures are so clearly pointing out for those who 'will be saved' in this age. As opposed to those who 'will be saved' "in the ages to come." (Eph 2:7) The 'process' is the same, only God's timing is the real issue.
Ephesians 2: NASB
4But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
