Matthw 7:21-25
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven [Matthew 7:21] 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

If Christ didn't die for the unrepentant, then they can't receive salvation by accepting His offer or be condemned for rejecting it.
Because in that scenario, the offer never existed.
Their rejection of Christ is NOT evidence that His blood wasn't shed for them.

For those of you who believe you will choose to die as an unrepentant sinner, what do you believe will be your reward for dying as an unrepentant sinner? 
The blood of Christ only has a positive effect on those who are repentant sinners.
That wasn't the question.The blood of Christ only has a positive effect on those who are repentant sinners.
If I buy my friend an ice cream, and he refuses to eat it because he is lactose-intolerant, that doesn't change the fact that it was purchased for him.
According to Jesus in Matthew 25:41, the eternal fire [of "hell"] was prepared for the devil and his angels. Unrepentant humans are not mentioned.
And that also wasn't the question.Christ only gives the free gift of salvation to repentant sinners.
You keep trying to justify your position instead of simply admitting that your poll options were poorly crafted.
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment [2 Peter 2:4] 5 And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.
That’s right because you’re a sinner and you better repent of your sins.I can't repent for your sins.
None can choose not to be resurrected. All will be resurrected. That is part of the result of Christ's death and resurrect. Otherwise, all would go to, and be left, in the grave, i.e., Sheol, hell, etc., forever. Christ died for all mankind, and all mankind will be resurrect, whether to eternal life or to eternal descent? no, not eternal descent, to eternal condemnation. And what condemns you now? hint: the answer is found two verses after John 3:16.
I also wonder about the poll as in: Jesus died for repentant sinners, Jesus died for everyone. Initially I thought who cares, everyone who repents will be saved so it doesn't matter.
Then I realized it does matter because how can I tell someone "Jesus died for them" if they haven't repented YET? I would be guessing or potentially lying!
