Can angels sin again at any time and be cast from Heaven?

To my understanding, freedom to choose is essential to personhood. That said, the angels which remain in Heaven quite obviously do not sin. I believe they choose holiness over sin continually. Their character is so established in holiness as to be perfectly steadfast and dependable. This is much the same as Jesus choosing to never sin, but nevertheless being capable of being tempted.
I would think so. They have 2 things going for them:1. They’ve seen the end result of rebellion.2. They don’t have a sinful, weak, corrupt human body to contend with________________I’m not saved because I’m good.

Today we mostly use the term Tempt specifically to mean to “solicit to do evil.” However, the term has not always been quite so narrowly interpreted. In the Bible this word conveys that idea at times, but at other times it means to “put to the test.”
In looking at His temptation by the Devil wilderness, certainly it was a test. Nevertheless, it is hard to see any really substantive difference between testing and tempting in this case, or in any other for that matter. He was tested regarding faithfulness to His Father.Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Heb 2:17-18ESV
