“I am wondering about predestination. Are some people predestined to be saved and the rest predestined not to be saved?”
Predestination is sometimes referred to as “election,” in the sense that God chooses people for his own purposes. For example, Abraham was chosen, or elected, by God, as were his son and grandson, Isaac and Jacob. Other chosen ones included Moses, Joshua, David, the prophets, and of course, the Israelites were the “chosen people.”
The apostle Paul wrote about predestination, or election, in several passages. In Romans 8:28-30 and Ephesians 1:3-6, he emphasized that election is “in Christ,” and that it is a matter of God’s own choice for God’s own purposes.
What does our future holds? In this GE50, I see lots of political parties emphasizing the importance of "What is next", future. However, I am very sure of my future, my faith, in trusting God, meeting God in Heaven through Christ one day.

"The General Election is about Singapore's future, choosing the Government and setting the direction for the country" Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said.
There is no guaranty in man, as even the most faithful man - sin.
Ephesians 1:4-12 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen,having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
Predestined, hand pick by God to lead this Nation. So Who, What party should I support?
Calling this "a landmark election" Mr Low told the crowd they can collectively decide on the future direction of Singapore.
All good things is from the Lord.
