Is there free will in heaven?[/quote]

You'll never get anyone to answer this gotcha.  Nice try tho.[/quote]
Evangelical Christian here...

Heaven in eternity will be populated by those who of their free will made the decision to trust in Christ as their savior. When Christ returns to judge the living and the dead, we will all be resurrected, some to eternal life, some to eternal damnation (John 5:28). At the resurrection, those who trusted in Christ during their lives will be perfected in Christ. There will be no sin in Heaven because those who trusted Christ have submitted their will to His.

So the answer is yes, and no. Yes, the free will is ongoing from our earthly lives that Christ will make possible. But no, no one will choose sin because Christ will reign supreme, and that's what everyone who is with Him has decided they want.

This is more thoroughly covered in Romans 6-8 if you'd like to read it.[/quote]
