3. Your definitions are not quite right.
Omniscient means "all knowing."

Omnipotent means "all powerful."

Omnipresent means "all over the place."

Now, God could be omniscient in the sense of sequential time, but not necessarily pre-cognitive knowledge. The two can be mutually exclusive.

God is omnipotent. That does not necessarily mean, however, that God chooses to use said powers.

Lastly, you do have free will and my exercise it in any fashion you'd like. God, by the same token, can exercise free will and let you in, or not.

See?

Regards,
