Jesus died for everyone's sins, even mine.

Actually Christ only died for those he predestined to receive him, otherwise his sacrifice would be in vain. If therefore he predestined some to be "saved", then it also stands to reason that some have been predestined to Hell. But it is not for us to determine who.

If we are predestined where does free will come in?

Maybe.

Wars have been fought over the issue of predestination. I see both sides.

"Actually Christ only died for those he predestined to receive him."

He did not predestine anyone TO recieve him. Rather, he predestined those who recieve him "...to be conformed to the likeness of His Son...(Romans 8: 29)."
