I was brought up in the Presbyterian church and all the ancestors in my mother's family were/are Presbyterians, but as I've become an adult I realize that being a Christian is not a denomination! I accepted Christ as my the Lord of my Life at 12. That is what is about! I am still growing as a Christian, as I learn more about Him daily. I go to a Church that is a solid Bible believing Church and it's great! I am a Christian, not a denomination!!:)
Predestination and free will are not salvation issues, but interesting for discussion. I believe we are predestined in that a loving, omniscient God knew we would choose Him, so it was established at the beginning. But, yes, I believe each of us has a freewill in that our omniscient God can see what we will choose.
But at the same time, I believe He is FOR each one of us, and wants us to accept Jesus!!:) His provision for salvation was giving us Jesus!!!!!
