And since we can't have disobedience in Heaven how will it work?

And since we would all have our "sin natures" zapped out of us, wouldn't our personalities all be the same? Sounds like a party full of people just like Clay Aiken. Eternally. Sign me up for hell!

Free will on earth separates those who accept Jesus from those who reject Him. So EVERYONE who ends up in heaven will be in total and complete agreement together with God and Jesus. That is how and why they are there.
There will be no disagreement becasue they will always be for the same thing which is to worship and praise the Lord our God for all eternity. That is how and why Christians go to heaven to begin with.
Stop thinking of things from the flesh and start thinking from the spirit and you won't have trouble understanding things like this.

When or while you're still on this earth you're given the free will, free will to choose between God and Lucifer, good and evil, listening to God or listening to the Devil, being obedient or disobidient. Now let's say if you choose God, you choose him because of your love for him and if you have chosen him you have chosen to be obedient, to please him, to listen to him etc. So once you're in heaven disobedience has died, actually it has died while you were here on earth. So will you think of being disobedient? No. Why? Because you love him so much and you love pleasing him.

good question, I think we get confused about the concept of free will and what it was meant to be, free will shows the love that God has for us in the sense that He wanted us to have freedom and by using our free will in the realm of truth and proper conscience,it gives us true freedom.
freedom however is not license to do anything we want,it is in fact the ability to do what is right,if we live our life in denial of truth and subject to personal sin, we really lose the gift of true freedom
we find that the concept of being in Heaven praising God would be boring,yet how can we know if we are not free,it may well be that we will want to praise God eternally by our own choice because simply it`s what we want to do with our free will and perfect freedom.

In the same way you don't actually have "free will" here on earth. Omniscience and free will are incompatible.
If an action is known absolutely then it is impossible to take actions/make choices that do not lead to that particular result. If mankind truly has free will then simply because all the possibilities have not happened and no choice has been made the future is unable to be known. If the future is known, all the choices and decisions are indeed locked in place, free will is nothing but a lie.

Your question and your thinking is bound by the 2 x 4 dimensions of time and space. Both God and heaven transcend the created order, and believers in Christ will share His glory with Him eternally...
"Eye and not seen; ear has not heard; no mind has conceived of what God has in prepared for those who love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). Unimaginable, to answer your question.

Anyone who would do things God wouldn't want them to do won't be in Heaven in the first place. They'll be suffering eternal torment. Problem solved.

Once in heaven we will have acquired the secret knowledge of the Tree of knowledge of good and Evil...we will know God's own will...and that will...because it is Truth...will be our own... thus free-will will still be ours...we will understand the will of the Father and not have reason to disobey...though his Grace will still forever be ours if we do.

Since we will be so grateful for having been allowed in heaven we will want to be obedient to God.

Once you're in heaven you can do what you like. God can't just change His mind, since that would mean He was wrong the first time and omnipotent beings are never wrong. So if you're good enough to get into heaven you can sin all you like.

We are all born with free will. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we surrender to His Will, and voluntarily give up our own free will, our ego, to do His Will.
And in Heaven, we will all serve God and do His Will, and that will give us happiness. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
