"Predestination" was one of the doctrines thought to be true by john Calvin. It teaches that the salvation or damnation of a person is predestine, or in other words, the person is chosen to be condemned or saved by God from birth. this teaching, however, has a rather large flaw: see "The paradox of free will" in the link below for further information.
