The Puritan doctrine of predestination is the belief that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned, regardless of their actions or beliefs. This belief is based on the idea of God's sovereignty and the concept of the elect, who are chosen by God for salvation. Puritans saw themselves as part of this elect group and believed that living a godly life was a sign of being chosen by God.
No. Predestination is not part of Methodist doctrine and is not believed by most Methodists.
It didn't. The Puritans did not care.
The ideas of predestination were that God decided the fate of a person's soul before they were even born. the idea of the doctrine of free will was that people's own actions determined their salvation.
The Calvinist doctrine relating to those who have been chosen by God for salvation is called "Predestination". Predestination is a doctrine which is found in many places in the Bible. It emphasizes God's initiative in saving sinners.

John Calvin
The Puritans were fatalistic in that they believed in the doctrine of the elect (predestination).
The doctrine of predestination is most closely associated with John Calvin, a 16th-century Protestant Reformer. Calvin's theological system emphasized the sovereignty of God in salvation, asserting that God has predestined some individuals for salvation and others for damnation. While the concept of predestination existed prior to Calvin, his interpretation and teachings significantly shaped the doctrine within Reformed theology.
Predestination is a Calvinistic doctrine that states that God is in complete control of the destiny of everyone. It is important because it creates a teaching that God is always on the throne.

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.
