Robby,
My understanding is that sin and evil are impossible in Heaven.
All babies (not just suffering ones) go to Heaven.
I will do you one better- all with mental capacities under the age of accountability go to Heaven.
Your last question about why the test (here on earth)?
I do not know for sure, but-
It could be that God wants no more failures like Lucifer and his followers pulled off and fell from His place on high.
Or / and, He intends to show you and me in black and white the tally at the end of the line.
No one will be able to say "I didn't do it".
Every mouth will be silent.
And I want to answer one more you haven't asked:
What about all those who went to Heaven without being tested?
They will be here during the Millennium when Satan and his minions will have been stuffed in the pit for that duration of time.
They will have been quite un-tempted by the devil for a thousand years.
Which is why the Bible says that Satan must be released for a short season at the end of the thousand years.
To Tempt all those who will dwell on the earth at that time.
Only at the end of the Millennial Restoration of All things does this occur.
