We are all destined to go to Hell, but God loved us so much that He sent His only Son that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
We must believe, confess, accept His free gift, this is the only way to keep from going to Hell.

No, God does not predestine anyone to Hell. We take care of condemning ourselves through original sin which has affected the entire human race from Adam forward, not just some as you've proposed.
Therefore God must choose who he will save, and this gives him a prerogative to choose his own before the foundations of the world, and everything I've said so far is supported by Scripture. Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane can be taken at face value now, as can all of the verses having to do with foreknowledge and predestination -- God is not limited by man's choice, he simply rules the universe in his sovereignty. I'm not saying we don't have free will, we do -- we can reject God anyway we like with the same results. That's not predestination by God. It's our own sin nature working against us.

No not at all, no one is predestinedd for 2 reasons 1.There is no hell as it is depicted by most religions.
2. There is no predestination, and you choose the road that you walk on so therefore your destination is how you make it and in your hands!

Many feel that since we are predestined to become like Jesus that means others must have been predestined to hell. This misunderstanding begins by misunderstanding predestined.
"Predestined" means that it was God's original plan, His purpose, that everyone would follow Christ's example - but He has allowed man to have a free will, therefore not everyone will respond - BUT EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY - therefore predestined does not mean forced, neither to heaven or hell, its our choice.
For God so loved the WORLD that He gave His one and only Son, that WHO-SO-EVER believes in Him shall not die but have ever lasting life.

Sure, if you believe in predestination. If anyone is predestined to anything, then everyone is predestined to something.

we were all predestined for heaven but will go to hell by our own choice in the acceptance or rejection of the gift of jesus

there is no hell, so no one is predestined to go there

Everyone who wants to respond to the message of salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ is free to come to God through him. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Those who are predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ are those whom God saw in his foreknowledge coming to him, he did not predetermine who would or who would not come to him.

Everyone who has reached the age of accountability is destined to go to hell, because everyone is a sinner deserving of hell.
Thankfully, there is an alternative.
You must be born again.
