Default Revelation 2:26,27

"And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations. 27He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father."

This is a warning and promise spoken to believers. It is a conditional statement, i.e. IF you are victorious you will rule with Christ; therefore if you are not victorious, you will not rule with Christ over the nations.

The calling is addressed to believers. They have overcome the world by believing in Christ and have eternal life. Yet they still need to live a sanctified and fruitful life to the end, and be victorious over the flesh, the world and Satan in order to receive the top prize of ruling during the Millenial Kingdom.

Do not be deceived by the sugar coated, watered down, leavened teachings that misguide you saying that just because you are a believer, you automatically qualify to be a king.
