Sweet Baby Jesus (SBJ-PBUH) knows everything and knew everything before he even created everything.

Oh, that's an interesting conundrum. Since Jesus will only save the "elect" and there is no free will, how can life be a test? If everything is predestined, what is the point of this life as a short waystation to eternity? I'm going to have to pray on that.
But SBJ is all powerful, so he can obviously know everything that ever will happen and still require to test people to see if they will have faith.
Oh ye of little faith, surely if you had Jesus in your heart you would know this. Jesus can do anything, and he can even contradict himself without contradicting himself.
