JAMIE - I know we are here to be tested and we supposed to endure till we die, My question what prevents us from committing sin in celestial kingdom since we know Satan was in pre-mortal life with all of us with Heavenly Father and he rebelled.

JOEL - The premortal life and our future Celestial kingdom are not the same places. This earth will be changed and become the Celestial Kingdom for us and God the Father will rule over that kingdom. There will be no sin committed in our celestial kingdom. Those who are exalted have overcome the natural man and have been sanctified to the point where they will no longer have the desire to commit sin. God will know the hearts of all those who are alowed to enter that Kingdom and that they would commit no sin. No new spirit children will be created there who might have the desire to rebel against God.

"And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end." (3 Nephi 27: 19)

"Celestial law is the law of the gospel; it is the law of Christ. It calls upon men to forsake the world and rise above every carnal and evil thing. It calls upon men to repent and be baptized and receive the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit of God. It requires that they become new creatures of the Holy Ghost. Only those who so live acquire thereby celestial bodies; only such bodies can stand celestial glory, and this glory is found only in a celestial kingdom." (MILLENNIAL MESSIAH: THE SECOND COMING OF THE SON OF MAN, by Bruce R. McConkie)

Those who eventually become Gods will create their own universes and spirit children.

"Then will they become gods, even the sons of God; then will they become eternal fathers, eternal mothers, eternal sons and eternal daughters; being eternal in their organization, they go from glory to glory, from power to power; they will never cease to increase and to multiply, worlds without end. When they receive their crowns, their dominions, they then will be prepared to frame earths like unto ours and to people them in the same manner as we have been brought forth by our parents, by our Father and God." (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 18:259, October 8, 1876)

"We shall go on from one step to another, reaching forth into the eternities until we become like the Gods, and shall be able to frame for ourselves, by the behest and command of the Almighty. All those who are counted worthy to be exalted and to become Gods, even the sons of God, will go forth and have earths and worlds like those who framed this and millions on millions of others. (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 17:143, July 19,)

What happens after that there is nothing revealed. I suppose some of the spirit children that are created by these future God's might also rebel and be cast out from the presence of their God, wherever that might be, but it won't be on this earth that has becomes our celestial Kingdom.
