2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 King James Version (KJV)
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

on an individual basis, God knows how to deliver his own, while reserving the wicked for destruction.
Its in the OT as a principle as well.
Yes.
