Election Is Not Based on Gods Foreknowledge of Our Faith. Quite commonly people will agree that God predestines some to be saved, but they will say that he does this by looking into the future and seeing who will believe in Christ and who will not. If he sees that a person is going to come to saving faith, then he will predestine that person to be saved. In this way, it is thought, the ultimate reason why some are saved and some are not lies within the people themselves, not within God. All that God does in his predestining work is to give confirmation to the decision he knows people will make on their own. The verse commonly used to support this view is Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son. - excerpt from Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem monergism/thethreshold/articles/onsite/misunderstandings.html
