Good thinking, but notice that I only was talking about the Calvinist view of predestination. You probably think that I was talking about open-theism. If you don't know what that is, here's a link: http://www.carm.org/open.htm. Because you're such a huge mark, here's a link to a thread on open-theism which I was recently involved in: http://www.christianforum.com/t84276&page=1.

God IS omniscient (all knowing). He knows what happens in the future, but he doesn't change our free will of accepting Him or not. The Calvinist view is that some of us are destined to heaven, while some are destined to hell; someone cannot accept Christ if they are predestined to hell. The truth is, we are all destined to heaven. It is our job as Christians to spead the gospel to all who don't know Jesus, so that they may know Him.
