There's a precedent.

It's got those harps and clouds and the fullsome sense of smugness caused  
by being there.

Okay in all seriousness if everyone thinks the same way in Heaven then  
it's possible that the only way in is to display those same traits on  
Earth. Therefore you have no free will nor free will to lose you are  
simply repeating your Earthly actions in Heaven. If you were the type of  
person to become disatisfied with that then you wouldn't have been allowed  
in. Satan/Lucifer/Adversary doesn't count as he was always in Heaven.
