The Socinians, however, and some of the Remonstrants, unable to reconcile this foreknowledge with human liberty, deny that free acts can be foreknown. As the omnipotence of God is his ability to do whatever is possible, so his omniscience is his knowledge of everything knowable. But as free acts are in their nature uncertain,

Winston is a Wesleyan they do not generally believe ion Gods foreknowlege..it would interfer with free will too much..so most Wesleyans think God has decided not to see the future (kinnda like closing your eyes to be surprised). So open Thesism is like breathing to them

As my Nazarene Pastor once noted Foreknowledge = predestination

I should also note that Charles Hodge wrote that ~well~ before we had the advent of today's "Open Theism".
