Hmmmm....
Then, by what you say here, there can be no free will in heaven.
Quote:Noope.
That why "Heaven" is not for everyone. Hence the Choice.
So which is it? Utopia and free will can't coexist or they can? Because you're making no sense here.
Our will becomes like God’s once we have chosen Jesus Christ on earth. Theoretically, we’d have the free will to abandon heaven. Satan and his demons used to be angels, and used their free will to leave God’s presence. We’re not likely to because we’ve already faced worse trials on earth. If we would have been driven away, it would have been then. Believers in heaven have already made the choice to fill their hearts with God. God's presence is so powerful that only the holy, pure and righteous can stand in it. Jesus made us pure with His sacrifice and our acceptance of it. He has changed our mind (once we welcomed Him to), not our choices.
