No. Predestination is not part of Methodist doctrine and is not believed by most Methodists.
Some Christian denominations that do not believe in predestination include the Methodist Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
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, Lutherans believe in predestination as part of their theological beliefs.
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.
Catholics do not believe in the concept of predestination as it is understood in some other Christian denominations. They believe in free will and that individuals have the ability to choose their own actions and ultimately determine their own fate.

Belief in predestination varies among individuals. Some people believe that events are predetermined by a higher power, while others believe in free will. Those who believe in predestination may feel a sense of acceptance and trust in the unfolding of events, while others may find comfort in the idea that their actions shape their future. Ultimately, one's belief in predestination can influence their outlook on life by shaping their perspective on fate, choice, and personal responsibility.
Yes, some Baptists believe in the concept of predestination, which is the belief that God has already determined who will be saved and who will not be saved. However, not all Baptists hold this belief, as there are different interpretations within the Baptist denomination.
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.
