Best Answer

This belief is usually associated with the Reformed approach to Christianity as taught by John Calvin. Presbyterian churches generally fall within the Reformed tradition.

Another answer

Predestination is a doctrine stating that God has previously determined all things especially that god has elected certain souls to eternal salvation and others to eternal damnation.

The above describes double predestination in which God elects some and rejects others. There are other versions - single predestination in which God elects some and we maintain a respectful agnosticism about the others and universal predestination in which ultimately all are saved. The key idea binding all together is that the election is done by God, not by humans.
