Here is what I have read, and it makes sense I will point out which point I feel is 100% true. Oh yea I do not believe in predestination.
There is a very popular long-time theory in religious circles which holds salvation to be a matter of presdestination. That is, you are saved because God predestinated you to be saved. The logical (and often-stated) corollary is: "If some are predestinated to Heaven, the rest are predestinated to Hell." This teaching, which began with Augustine (354-430 A.D.) and was systematized by the Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564 A.D.), is usually called "Calvinism." It affirms that we have no choice in the matter of salvation; it was all settled long before the world was created.
No the point that I find to set it in stone is "If some are predestinated to Heaven, the rest are predestinated to Hell." That right there is saying that God condemns people to hell which is not true. It is our choice that takes us there, because you did not want to..
