The belief of predestination is based mainly on the following verses:
"29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
Let's see what the word "predestinate" means.
The grk for it is "proorizo" (first person). From "pro" which means "pre" and the verb "orizo" which means "ordain, define, determine etc". So "proorizo" means to "determine beforehand".
So let's use an example with that word.
Example. "A father "proorizei" (verb of the third person) his son as his successor in his company."
The above says that the father's will, intention, decision is that his son will get his company when he is going to quit sometime in the future. But does that guarantee that his son is actually going to do that. It is the father's will, intention. BUT it has to be the son's will and choise as well. But the son may not choose to do what his father would like him to do. Maybe the son has something else in his mind for himself, anorther job, another lifestyle. Even maybe the son initially accepts the jod but later on leaves it. Any other thing really. So you see that for the result to be what the father wishes both parts, father's and son's, will must the same, otherwise what the father wants won't be accomplished.
S let's go back to those verses. An free interpretation could be as:
The ones that God knows that will accept Jesus, He determines to be like Jesus (it means glorified, which actually means saved). So God calls them out of the world. Then He justifies them through Jesus' Blood and glorifies them (although that seems to have been done, it actually refers to the future, at the resurrection).
The question is: All of those who accept Christ will be glorified at the end?
