If No: Then we would be like robots, forced to love and worship a diety in heaven. Would that truely be called love if it isn't a choice? And then what would be the purpose of free will on earth if you take it away after life?
If yes: Then can an individual be cast out of heaven? With free will comes the ability to choose NOT to love and worship. If in heaven someone chooses the other, would they then be cast out?
And don't say that a person can't make that choice, because then it isn't free will. What if someone looked on the actions of their diety and chose to find fault. Even if they are incorrect in that assumption. Part of free will is making wrong choices.
Further, could you ask for forgiveness in heaven? or even in hell for that matter. If God is everywhere (including hell) and is a forgiving God, then why couldn't someone ask for forgiveness in the afterlife instead of being tormented for eternity for not making a decision based on limited info (or no info at all for some)

"free will" is a concept for physical humans. It's not a concept that is part of the spiritual being (the soul). Same as asking for forgiveness.
Given that, your argument (or attempted paradox) falls apart.
