besides on the day of judgment when your works are burned up if u did them for the wrong reason.
I mean can the bad actions you commit later on in life affect the rewards that u have already stored up?

No, I don't think so. I think God knows ahead of time everything we are going to say and do, before we're even born. So He's not up there taking something out of your rewards because you didn't do the "right" thing today!

I once heard a sermon on this, and I have not returned to the church since. The reason: it is not biblical, unless you are catholic. Heaven is the exact same for everyone, no one will be treated better or worse then anyone else. That's the point. Finally we have hope for Equality for all, and some people still try to turn it into a competition to see who is treated better in Heaven. I think that heaven will be the exact same for me as it will be the for the Pope, and Billy Grahm. In the Bible where it speaks of rewards we are granted for our actions, it is talking about here on earth. We reap what we sow. The concept of different rewards in heaven is blasphemous. God loves all His children the same, no mater what they have done. Sorry if it's not what you belive, but present me with scripture that clearly proclaims it, and i will believe. I haven't seen it yet.
God bless you.

If you truly accepted "Jesus Christ as your personal Savior" - All your sins are forgiven - Christ came into this world not to condem the world (mankind) but that through HIM the world (mankind) might be saved - John 3:17...that dosen't mean that once you accept Him you can sin and live like the devil -- it means you are forgiven because of what Christ did for you and when you truly are a follower of Christ, you do not want to do the things you did before. You find that old things/friends pass away and new things/friends fill your life. No, you cannot lose what you did not truly have if you never accepted HIM 100%. We live during the time of Grace -- and are New Testament Christians -- the Old Testament was for the Jews and they lived by the Law and blood sacrifices. Christ shed "HIS" blood for us, thus the reason for Grace (G-od's R-iches A-t C-hrist's E-xpence). We make mistakes, sometimes terrible ones, but when we pray to HIM and ask forgiveness -- He forgives our sins. Take care and have a blessed week. Joe and Arlene - Lowndesboro, AL

beliefs differ from each denomination but generally, works wont get u into heaven. You cant work ure way into heaven through good deeds. This is a huge misconception about Christianity. You should read up in the bible as it clearly states it there

As I are conscious of it, definite. i imagine there are all diverse ranges of salvation, gaining and dropping salvation. the customary factor of being a Christian is trusting God. As I are conscious of it, a million Corinthians 3 tells of human beings who're saved and yet have little to no rewards. And if i look on the myth of the Sower, there are those who acquire the message and then melt away. i imagine that Jesus advised us those memories because he needed in uncomplicated words those who're in the Spirit to appreciate them (Matthew 13), and choose now to not be all in favour of being like those who fell away. I have self assurance that there is present day validity of Ezekiel 33:13. "If I tell the righteous guy that he will actually stay, yet then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, not one of the righteous issues he has executed will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has executed." and that i look to work out an rather good type of this, exceptionally with the "when you're gay, then you definately won't be able to be saved" message.

I don't think they have secure storage in heaven. They trust everybody. So yes some one who dies before you may think they deserve all those heavenly rewards and just take them. You can't really call him a thief or he would be in hell.
He just doesn't understand how heaven works like you and me intro
Any Christian who really believes this crap won't be turning bad later in life. They think they have too much to lose.

That's a good question, and I can't say as I know the answer, it's a good one tho. It sounds like you're talking about a Christian life that fluctuates quite a bit, up and down. Well I know that God's grace is incredible and He sees our hearts. I don't think we have to be perfect, we will make mistakes, I know He wants us to be consistent, but this didn't answer you question did it? Bummer!

What? Rewards, stored in heaven? Umm, I'm not aware of such a thing. I think you've been misinformed of what heavan is and who God is.
