I ask the question as unfettered free will is believed to be by some necessary to love and worship God, and without it, we are just automatons. So, to those who believe this, I would like to know if they believe that same free will exists in heaven, and if not, how do they reconcile it.

You may not get many responders to your question.

I think they are still working on the amount of angels that can dance on a pin head problem.

Interesting because I don't believe in free will.

We are either slaves to sin or slaves to God.

No one is a completely free and independent entity but God alone.

That said, even supposing that I had totally free will in the matter of getting saved and staying saved, I would gladly surrender that right to God once I got saved so as to not ever risk taking that free will and choosing against Him.

I would be and am happy to have Him seal me and protect me from myself, from my own stubborn nature and tendency to rebel and if possible, to do something so stupid as to turn my back on Him at the cost of my own soul.
