that's such a deep topic ... but Yes
Eastern religions call it karma. You rip what you've sown in your past life in this life or the next. Not that God punishes but the universe, the boomerang effect.
In the world of physics it's "for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction"
I don't believe Christianity in particular believes in pre-determined fate
Probably not the baptists, pentecoastals etc... not very sure
I think they more believe in praying to God to avoid/attract whatever
Interestingly in the Bible it does say - when you pray, the things you desire believe you already have them, and you'll receive them. Sound familiar?
So hm ... fate or no fate...
Close family friend to my parents, interesting character, she was studied by Japanese scientist says on her telekinetic abilities and they were shocked to say the least...
so she says
Every soul comes to earth with pre-determined fate.
You can change some of it but not all.
It's karma. what you've done in your last life(s) affects this life.
God doesn't burn you on a steak in a lake or what have you
In an interview she elaborated and said we die and all's forgiven but karma
has you coming back to learn not be an ass to other people.
and that when you're a kid you know your purpose but forget it as you grow older
