Sure - Pre-ordination? The idea that everything is already decided, and has been since the dawn of time. Means there's no such thing as free will, and destiny is unavoidable.

If you mean "predestination," yes. That is a theological model developed in Geneva in the 17th century, loosely based on the writings of Augustine of Hippo. Advocates of predestination believe that human beings are incapable of turning to God of their own free will, so God 'hand picked' and saved a chosen few.

MAYBE YOU MEAN ' PREDESTINATION'. this is the same as believing that our lives are controlled by 'Fate'.
If this were so, and the date of our death was ' predestined' then we could step in front of a speeding bus, and IF our TIME had not yet arrived, we COULD NOT be killed.
Now we know this is not how things are.
If we do foolish things, we CAN be killed.
We CAN choose to end our own life.
So our FATE is NOT PRE=DETERMINED.

Roman 8:29-30
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Perhaps you mean predestination? The doctrine that God has, before time began, predetermined whom He would save through Grace and whom He would not.
