Predestination & Free Will
What the bible says about being chosen by God for salvation versus you choosing God.

Does God Predestinate People Based On His Foreknowledge?
Many Christians are told that God has looked into the future to see who would accept Christ and therefore those people are the ones whom God has predestined to be saved.
