" How am I going to be made compatible with it ..." Here in is the crux of the failed arguement. Being a Christian is not about giving up your freedoms or memories, it's about Conforming to a higher ideal. It's not about heaven making itself compatible to you, or you still being who you are and having to give up something for peace in heaven. If you're getting into heaven it's because your old self has died and you're made new, in Love and selflessnes. I feel yoou have the same freedom to choose you do in heaven as you do here. If Lucifer can disobey God, then it's not heaven that prevents free will, nor is there any lack of choice to go against God. I would add that it's not acting in your own interests that is a sin, but it's acting against God's interest in you that is a sin.
I don't necessarily agree with theophilus that we're at any time without the ability to choose. Nor do I beleive it is the Christin standard to believe that once you've given your life to Christ that you are incabable of sin. We're human and we're all sinners (athesists can read selfish to not be offended), saved or not.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
