This is related to my last question regarding satan's fall from heaven from jealousy, pride, and the like.

This question assumes there is free will in heaven and assumes we, as humans, will still have free will thus be susceptible to temptations.

taking your assumption into play, I would have to say yes can be the only answer.

Most likely not. Satan has no influence in Heaven, unlike Earth. We will still have free will to commit sin, but,if you think about it, we'll get to Heaven by having a good, pure soul. Not to say you haven't committed sin, but that you wanted to serve God. If there is no influence by Satan, and you truly wish to obey God, than you will be able to serve him fully, meaning that if you don't want to sin, you won't, unlike on Earth, where you sin everyday whether you want to or not. Our sinning is due to Satan's temptations, which, as I have said, will have no power in Heaven.

Have you entertained the thought that perhaps, like God allowed the temptation in the garden to proceed as He saw fit, for His purposes, that He also allowed Satan and his minions to experience the utmost in pride, thinking they could usurp His sovereignty, also for His purposes? God was not taken aback by Satan's fall, nor surprised, it worked for His glory and ultimate purpose. He could have stopped it if He chose to.
There will not be temptation nor sin in Heaven. Our sin nature will be gone with our earthly bodies. We will have the "free will" to worship and glorify God in our perfected state, untarnished by sin.

There's no longer any type of temptation in heaven, but there is free will.

Everybody there has an infinite number of choices ... all of them good ones.

There is free will in heaven.

Most Christians ignore willfully that Christ and the Bible teaches that only a limited number of Saints shall be resurrected to heavenly life. The rest will live on earth.

These Saints are thoroughly tested 100% for all temptations so that once they have heavenly life, their having been tested here fully precludes any submission to sin once there.

yes. You see I answered your othewr wuestion about what you will do all the time in heaven. The answer is anything, but; there are naturally limitations. You will still be bound to gods law and morals. So yes it will be possible to fall from grace.

There is a possibility that angels could still fall today. Yes.

However, HUMANS who are given the chance to reside in heaven are granted this right because God has determined, by reading their hearts, that they will not have that fate - they WILL remain faithful. They are granted immortality - which is more than just living forever - it means that they are given "life in themselves". They CANNOT die.

Free will exists. God simply knows in advance that those upon whom he bestows immortality will not fail.

When we get to heaven everything will be perfect all of our desires will be fulfilled therefore there will be no temptation..... there will be no sin in heaven for God can not look upon sin

After Jesus' second coming evil will be purged from the earth and there will be no evil or sickness in heaven.

We have to understand that

...before the Fall, it was possible for humans not to sin...

...after the Fall, it was impossible not to sin...

... the new heavens and earth, it is impossible for glorified humans to sin.
