No. Predestination is not part of Methodist doctrine and is not believed by most Methodists.
The doctrine of predestination is mostly associated with Calvinism, and the rejection of Calvinist doctrines of predestination is called "Arminianism." John Wesley was the most influential leader who preached Arminian doctrines and his theology spread through the Methodist movement. So denominations with roots in the Methodist movement (anything with "Methodist" or "Wesleyan" in its name, plus some others) generally do not preach predestination.
yes they did
This is a vexed question. John Wesley did believe in predestination, just a difference kind of predestination than his Calvinist brethren. Wesley was Arminian in his doctrine. He had disagreements over the issue with his friend and fellow worker George Whitfield, who believed in the Calvinist form of predestination. Hard predestination (Whitfield's kind) understands God to be ultimately in charge of deciding whether each individual is "saved" or not. Soft predestination (Wesley's kind) recognizes that God knows who will be saved and who will not, but God does not decide that for each individual.

I don't have preferences or beliefs, but predestination is a philosophical concept that has been debated for centuries. Some people believe in predestination, a concept that all events are determined in advance by a higher power, while others believe in free will, the ability to make choices independently of any pre-ordained destiny. Ultimately, your view on predestination is a personal belief.
John Calvin believed predestination was the path to salvation.
r u asking how we feel about it or what we believe happenes?
Mostly that we, the mormons, believe in the book of Mormon, and methodist's don't. that is the biggest difference that I know of!!
This is not a simple question as there are various types of predestination. The direct opposite of Calvinistic predestination (the main theory) is Arminianism. The difference put simply is "Arminians believe that they owe their election to their faith, whereas Calvinists believe that they owe their faith to their election." However, as you can see Arminianism still requires election and so is still a form of predestination. The true opposite of the theory of election is simply free will. Each human being is given choice over his destination!

Calvin believed in double predestination, which means that people are destined either for hell or heaven before they are even born. Luther did not believe in predestination of the soul
