I don't personally believe in an omniscent being, but here's what I understood when I was brought up(as a Christian)...
Basically, God does know if you will eventually choose heaven/hell(or whatever you udnerstand those to be..), but he doesn't make you do anything...he gives you the power to make your own choices..he just knows the outcome. So I guess you do have free will to an extent , but if you believe in any form of a god how can you have complete free will? IMO just the phychological effects of that belief stop you from having free will. If you don't believe you have it, you won't. If you let anything control your life, it will.
I guess what I want to say is god doesn't control us, he just knows what we will turn out to be...he leaves the opportunity for us to change ourselves for the better. But again, I believe that if you think he has control over you, your actions will resemble that theory.
