So, you are agreeing that they had no choice but to accomplish that to which they were predestined.

Not at all. Exactly the opposite, in fact:

Well, I'm only repeating what I've read in Scripture. There isn't a lot to worry about for the those whom God has graced with faith in Jesus Christ. He came to redeem us and He will lose none of us.
"I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not" -- Isaiah 65:1
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." -- John 16:33
The rest of the world has plenty to worry about, but they won't. Their eyes have been shut to His light; their ears are closed to His word; and their hearts are made of stone. All who seek Him as Lord and Savior will by found by Him because, whether they know it or not, the Holy Spirit is leading them home.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." -- Romans 1:16
