You will be "like" the angels in heaven.
Created angels are different than us. We will be ourselves but like angels.

Sinless, but not?
The moslem faith especially mentions that the Devil was a djinn, created of fire, who was not "sinless" like an angel, but christianity states that angels are also capable of sinning and falling from heaven.

Thanks for that useless tidbit of info. I wonder what's in store for us next on " C Rod's Believe it or Not!"

Though I am obviously not in the demographic you were addressing, I would think that death, and the mythical nature of such a place would be quite effective in preventing sin. YMMV.

On CRod's believe it or not...
Ask what makes us sin here and don't just say the body. Go deeper.

What happens if we know why we are and not otherwise? What if we are permanently pleased?

@ Teaearlgreyhot, what makes you believe that one will be tempted, no temptation no sin. God will not be in the presence of sin, if one were to sin in heaven, where we are continually in God's presence, we would sin in His presence, that want happen. Everyone's needs will be met, we'll all be on equal terms so to speak. Most important, is the love we will have for God, our new found love will be greater than anyone could imagine. There will be no reason to even contemplate sin.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Quote:what stops the Christian from sinning in heaven?
Since heaven exists only in the mind of idiot believers it would seem that will shut down the sinning pretty effectively as soon as they are pushing up daisies.
