say a person done a good thing, however the other christian has done more good things than the first one. will they rewarded equally?

is heaven one level, or different levels on top of each other, the more you go up the better reward you get. and do you have evidence supports what you will say?

so how it's fair for those who did more good things on earth, than those who did so little?

There's no 'bell curve' in heaven, buddy.

There are 3 heavens listed in the New Testament

1st = sky
2nd = some spiritual realm in which both God's angels and Satan's rebels can be
3rd = heaven proper, where God the Father and Messiah Jesus live. Angels and spirits of dead believers are there.

However there are rewards for doing your task in life. God has a plan for every person's life. The entrance for us christians begins with salvation through belief in Christ as our Saviour (no-one can merit heaven according to Jesus' teaching - we have to have Him take our sins for us.)

Paul talks about his own efforts to make sure he did not lose his reward (eg in Philippians). You get rewards for accomplishing the tasks God wants you to do on Earth. Many or most believers won't have much of this kind of reward I suspect, because many of them don't get very far in finding and obeying God's purpose for their life.
E.g. in the Millenium guys like Paul will be back with a new body and exercising government for the Messiah, who will have His capital in Jerusalem.

The Bible makes use of the term translated into English as Heaven or Heavens in 3 procedures. there is the "heavens" have been birds fly, the "heavens" have been the celebrities are, and the divine non secular domicile of God Almighty it fairly is the Heaven the place authentic believers bypass to be with the Lord. The Apostle Paul referred to as this the "third Heaven". 2 Corinthians 12:2 i know a guy in Christ who fourteen years in the past replaced into caught as much as the third heaven. no remember if it replaced into interior the physique or out of the physique i do no longer know--God is nicely-known with of. 3 and that i know that this guy--no remember if interior the physique or aside from the physique i do no longer know, yet God is nicely-known with of four replaced into caught as much as paradise. He heard inexpressible issues, issues that guy isn't accepted to tell. Gen a million:20 Then God stated, "permit the waters abound with an abundance of residing creatures, and allow birds fly above the earth around the face of the firmament of the heavens." 1Ch 27:23 yet David did no longer take the kind of those two decades previous and below, because of the fact the LORD had stated He could multiply Israel like the celebrities of the heavens.

Just one Heaven... but those who make it will receive rewards based on their life on Earth... it is assumed that those with the greater rewards will have it better in some way... but no one knows for sure... no one still mortal that is...

One enters Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior and living a Christian life. Not by doing "good deeds." I believe there is one level, not many.

Of course there is no evidence.
What kind of question is that?

However, many religions do believe that there is more to the after life than one extreme or the other.

Mormons, for example, believe in a layer system, whereas most common presbyterian denominations only believe that you only go one way or the other.

I think many levels. There are rewards for the performance here.

well i don't think that heaven has levels. i mean if you go to heaven then you go to heaven. if you excepted God into your heart, and mean it, then you go to heaven. but i don't know if in the bible it states that it has levels, but i guess i can always look it up.
