I dont think their are any classifications in God's eyes, u either believ in him or u dont. Thats the problem, 2 many people are focused on being religious instead of being believers. Religon came about for what certain humans wanted/needed 2 make them feel more comfortable about following Christ. I myself am non-denominational b/c thats just 2 much confusion 2 many dos and donts 4 how u should act in church(temple), u should be the same wheter in church or not u as a believer in christ are the church not just the building, people put 2 rules on how u should act inside a building, God is everywhere not just in these designated buildings.some people want 2 become so holy once inside the temple and thats not how they are outside, i think god wants u 2 just acknowledge him and follow the book and forget about all the extras that denominations added. 1 heaven 1 hell no in between, no classifications.

Are those boots or blue stockings under sandals? Hard to tell.
Anyway, no, the Bible does not record any different classes of heaven. But there is a funny joke going around about that....
A train gets derailed one day, and all the people die. The Christians all wake up to find themselves at the pearly gates. Peter meets them there and says, follow me.
He puts them all on an elevator. They are confused. The elevator goes to the second floor. Peter says, all the Catholics get off here. A few people get off.
Up to the third floor. Peter says, all the Methodists get off here. A few more get off.
They go past fourth, and they stop at fifth. Peter says, all the Pentecostals off here. Some people get off.
Someone pipes up and says, Peter why did we skip number four?
Peter says, "that's where the Baptists live. Be very quiet. They think they're here all alone."
Posted in good humor. No one get mad.

Different people had different beliefs. The Orthodox church broke off over a fight over doctrine. In the 1500's the Catholic church was doing bad things (well, some of the priests-- like accepting money for forgiveness of sins), and people didn't like this, so they interepted the Bible differently, and that is why all these different religions came about under Christanity. All of Christanity believes in Christ, however, they differ on the doctrine and method of worship. I don't know anything about the Christian belief about different levels of heaven.

Classifications help us sort out vastly different world views. Atheists hate it when we classify them with Stalin and Mao, Muslims hate when we classify them with radical terrorists, and Christians hate it when people classify them with anti-intellectual fundamentalists.
Classifications help us avoid logical fallacies like the straw man, unrepresentative samples, and hasty generalizations.

That would depend on the "Christian" who answers your question. Ask ten and you're bound to get 10 different answers.
P.S. I just noticed your avatar. The best I've seen. Cool!
