How does open theology interpret 1 Peter 1:2?

Upvote:2

1 Peter 1:2 KJV Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

This not a reference to an individual salvation but the plan of salvation. Obviously, God had foreknowledge of his own plan which was through the "sanctification of the Spirit" which we obtain when we obeyed and believed on our Lord's sacrifice. So, God foreknew, foreordained, predestinated, that all who would believe on His Son would be saved.

I am not sure this is the right question to respond with a definition of the different theological positions on foreknowledge, but I will be looking for one.
