Man will still have his agency, just that those who make it into the Celestial Kingdom have learned how to overcome temptation. In heaven, temptations will come from ourselves - our appetites and passions. Even God has the capacity to sin, but by so doing he would cease to be God.

Here in mortality we are in a learning state and need to be made aware of the choices we must make (tempted). In heaven we will be fully aware of the choices available to us, and able to choose either good or evil, but willing to choose only good.

In the Christian sense, I don't think anyone chooses to sin. They just choose not to obey what their religion teaches them to do. For instance, if one "sins" without having any idea that what they are doing is a "sin" (for their religion didn't tell them it was or wasn't), are they still sinning?
