WHAT IS PREDESTINATION? Predestination is doctrine which teaches that God predetermined who would go to heaven and who would spend eternity in hell. Furthermore, it teaches that each person has absolutely no choice in accepting or rejecting salvation through Christ. Every move you make and everything that happens to you, good or bad, was predetermined by God. If you reject Christ it is because you never had a chance or option to believe. Those who espouse predestination claim that if we have the free will to accept God’s salvation then we have earned our way into heaven. Therefore we’re not saved by grace but by our own merit-- we caused our own salvation, not God. Belief in predestination is generally referred to as Calvinism or Reformed Theology.

WHAT IS FREE WILL? Free will teaches that when presented with the facts of God’s plan for salvation that every individual person has a choice to make, to either accept or reject God’s gift of salvation. God desires that every person accept His gift. What was predestined was God’s plan for salvation through Jesus for those who accept it. Therefore if you accept that Jesus died for your sins and you have made Him Lord of your life then you are a part of the predetermined plan.
