(although it *does* teach that God already knows who will accept grace, which sounds kind of like predestination, but the difference there -- IIRC -- is that God doesn't choose people's destinies; they use their free will to accept grace or not, and he just knows about it ahead of time).
That's actually how the technically Calvinist Presbyterian church I grew up in explained it too. People have free will and the moral responsibility for choosing salvation or not is theirs, but from God's omniscient vantage point past, present, and future are all the same thing and He knows how it all turns out.
Our church was a lot more milquetoast-y about the Elect being shown signs of divine favor in earthly life than the Puritans, though.
