Denying Taqdeer

Q:

1. Is a person considered a Kafir if he or she does not believe in Taqdeer (Destiny)?

2. Can Dua change Taqdeer? Some scholars say that dua can change Taqdeer while others say dua cannot change Taqdeer. I am confused.

Thoughts of shirk

Q: Sometimes I knowingly start believing that there are many gods with Allah only in my mind, then I suddenly say or think no no no these all are fake things? Will Allah forgive me for these things?
