If you're a nun, priest, or whatever do you get a special reserved seat near God? I know that all people all equal in God's eyes but if they don't, wouldn't that suck? You would have spent your whole life preaching the word and get no special reward? You would have spent your entire life without experiencing the joys of sex, to have no recongtion or anything? Would they at least get a plaque to hand on the heavenly walls or something?

We will receive crowns. There will be a crown for those who look forward to and joyfully anticipate the return of Christ. Different crowns for different things. There's a really cool site that tells about this. I'll see if I can find it and add it on.

Anyway... When a person confesses with his mouth that Jesus died on the cross for our many sins than you will have greater rewards in Heaven. Heaven is a step away and God forgives all , but you have to go through Jesus to get to him

heaven is divided to many levels,the highest one is called:paradise. entering heaven is by Allah's mercy,and then being divided by everyone's deeds,who worked hard in this life he/she will be in the highest class with prophets(peace be upon them),the righteous,the truthful and the martyrs.
read this verse from holy Quran:
(And who-so-ever obeys Allah and the Messenger, shall be with those whom Allah has blessed-the Prophets, the truthful and the martyrs and the righteous: what excellent companions these are that one may get! This is the real bounty which comes from Allah and Allah's knowledge suffices to know the Reality)

Yup - when you get up there to heaven you have to stop at the pearly gates so they can count up your Jesus points. The higher the points the better Heaven you get. If you don't have a minimum amt. of points they kick you out alltogether and you have to start over or go to hell.

Actually, as much as we aren't judged by our works...our works are still judged. They are tested in a heavenly fire where all of the bad works burn away and all of the good works turn into crowns. It's scattered through the new testament.

That is a question a living person, who's never died and came back, can never answer. However, watch some fanatical brainwashed Christians attempt to enlighten us on something they themselves are ignorant about.

yes, it is a kingdom not a democracy. all rewards will be based on what the person did. so some will do more for the kingdom than others etc.

Yeah, you point out just one of the logical absurdities of it all. A plaque?!!! That's funny!

They may expect them, but who knows? It's not like they can come back and complain after they die when they find out that there's nothing after death except death.
