This has been an argument that has dominated the Christian fraternity for long. Have our fate already been preordained or we have an influence in deciding how our fate ends. Many Christians keep probing into this argument in their quest to find satisfactory answers to it.
Predestination is the belief in the doctrine that God has established in advance everything that is going to happen and that nothing can change this. This theory was strongly subscribed by Calvinists during the era of Calvinism which postulated that salvation is only for the selected few by God (Mat 22:14).
Freewill on the contrary is the belief in the power of acting without the constraint of fate, the ability to act at one's own discretion. So the argument is which of these dominate our lives, or determine our future; Predestination, freewill or a combination of both? Your thoughts please.

Let me give my first comment here, i know more will come. Concerning predestination, God has already given believers only ONE predestination; we are predestined unto CHRIST!
Romans 8:29 says "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren". So all believer have only one predestination; UNTO Christ. Now thta means that whatever our experience would be in the Kingdom of God, would be and should be glorious. Will continue this later on.
