The Augustinian position, however, is that God predestines people to an inward call by the Holy Spirit, and everyone whom God predestines unto salvation will be called, justified, and glorified. The Augustinian view holds that God cannot predestine anyone, for any reason, to anything of which He has no knowledge. God does not predestine unknown people. Obviously, foreknowledge must be first in any succession of the decrees of God, since He doesn’t decree anything for anyone of whom He knows nothing.
