As Dr. James White explains in this video below, for the Arminian, the phrase foreknew in Romans 8: 29, namely "those whom He foreknew He predestined" is translated to mean "those whose actions of faith God foresaw - on the basis of those actions of faith, He predestined" .... reading that boat-load of theology into that verb is a classic example of eisegesis.

Yet no one can deny that God foreknew what end man was to have before he created him, and consequently foreknew because he so ordained by his decree… God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the ruin of his descendants, but also meted it out in accordance with his own decision.

This results in what I've sometimes called the "bored view of God", in which God spends eternity doing what God always knew God would do, with no surprises, no genuine decisions, and in one sense no freedom, since God will presumably always do what God perfectly foreknew God would do.
