Very interesting indeed. I have toyed with ideas like this myself. It is, of course, hard to justify such views from scripture but if free will is real then something like this must be hapenning, I think.

My understanding is that we have free will, God knows us better than we know ourselves, so he accounts for every possible choice we make, so that with each new choice, we can decide to obey or disobey, and he adjusts his perfect plan accordingly and this occurs from choice to choice, one step to the next. This is how we 'walk' our life. Therefore we have free will at any point to turn to him or reject him, but he will continue to wait for us, ready to accept us anytime. This is only my understanding of it and is not what I would call a doctrine. Predestination is merely a way of looking at the way God is waiting for our response, that when we chose him, we can step into his plan that he has ALWAYS had for us. Helpful? Just my opinion.
