Absolutely not, as you well know.
Anointing is something God gives, an empowerment that enables us to do something in the Kingdom. It is a spiritual thing, but affects us emotionally.
Elijah was instructed by God to anoint three men:
Jehu, Hazael, and Elisha.
All three were anointed, but two of them were very likely lost.
The anointing is functionary, an empowerment enabling us to advance God's purpose.
God will anoint even the unsaved it is suits His purpose.
He anointed Nebuchadnezzar, but didn't approve his doctrine or lifestyle.
