But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
Surely you know the danger of one verse theology.
As previously mentioned, the majority of the most respected theologians, who know a lot more about scripture than me and you, believe in predestination. Other well respected theologians dont (John Wesley). We aren't going to settle this at the campfire I can promise you. I base my belief on what happened to me, my experience.
What I have noticed is that free will believers get defensive about the subject and predestination believers dont.
