If your god is all-knowing, then he knows what I will decide to do before I decide to do it and I really have not made a choice. I have simply done what I was predestined to do.
That being the case, how can I be punished for doing that which I was predestined to do?

Those christians say that, I think it was Peter, was told by Jesus that he was going to betray him three times in the near future. Peter of course had no choice and so it happened to him.

Let's say you are predestined to give your life to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
of your sins, then you won't have to worry about being punished. Why think negative
when it is just as easy to think positive?
All you need to do is ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to come into your life as
your Savior, just like you were predestined to do. Problem solved.

You have free will, being predestined and God knowing what you will do is a fact,yet you have the will to change the outcome. It is you who punish yourself by rejecting God, not him rejecting you.

all of the above
all knowing does not mean predestination

both of these
Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
