My personal belief is that God is not testing our faith. As you said, He already knows what's going to happen. He's letting you and I live our lives letting us make decisions, good or bad.
Well it's like joining a team. If you join then you're expected to believe in the team and contribute positively.
That... doesn't answer a thing. What does it even have to do with the question?

Yeah, He may know who goes and who doesn't but He still allows you to go through the motions and make your decision.
Why?

Free will is a great gift. With that will, we can be happy and free of suffering. But that gift can be a curse, if we get all stupid with it. Hence 2007.
What makes it a great gift? Why is it good? Isn't it a cause of suffering, rather than a remedy?
