Yes .... once you are there you will be rewarded.
First, let me explain .... Salvation, in itself, can not be attained no other way but by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Friend into your life. It doesn't matter what you do or how "religious" you can be. You can not earn brownie points in order to go to Heaven. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to my Father but by (or through) Me. John14:6
If you don't accept Jesus as your Lord and Friend; submitting your self to Him and receiving the new life He has for you ... then your "reward" isn't what God nor any true Christian would truly want. That's honest.
That said, in 1st Corinthians 3:9-23, it discusses rewards for Christian service. A note that is "attached" to this says:
"God in the NT Scriptures offers to the lost salvation.; and for the faithful service of the saved, He offers rewards. The passages are easily distinguished by remembering that salvation is invariably spoken of as a free gift. (e.g.: John 4:10, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9), whereas rewards are earned by works (e.g: Matthew 10:42, Luke 19:17, 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, 2 Timothy 4:7-8, Revelation 2:10 ; 22:12). A further distinction is that salvation is a present possession (Luke7:50, John 3:36; 5:24; 6:47) whereas rewards are a future attainment, to be given at the rapture (2 Timothy 4:8, Revelation 22:12)."

Unfortunately, unless you know Him, you will not be receiving rewards. There is an eternity waiting for you in one of two places, and it only takes simple Faith in Him to go to the better one. There is no party in the other one, only an eternity of being on fire and in torment, don't let the lost tell you any other way, cause they are wrong.
Make the easy choice.

umm, i'm afraid that He doesn't reward on deeds alone, and if going to heaven depended on what we've done, we'd all be burning. it's only His grace. once you're a Christian, he does reward you for showing love and doing "good deeds" etc. but we shouldn't do them to get rewarded, because that's the wrong motivation. we should do good things out of love for God and others, and not do them where other people will see and be like "ooooooh, they're so good" and stuff.

It depends on where your mind was when doing it. If you're doing things in order to "buy" his love, probably not. He wants you to live and love doing things just for the sake of doing things, but remembering His grace. A sinner can commit sins his entire life, and God, by His grace, will reward him if he only does one thing at the end of his life.

If you are a Christian then things you did for the glory of God will be rewarded with crowns
