is there a difference between ENTERING the kingdom of heaven and INHERITING it?

This was brought up to me recently, and I thought it an interesting point.

The Greek word for "enter": εἰσέλθητε
The Greek word for "inherit": κληρονομέω

The person suggesting this also used the example of the prodigal son, who was welcomed back into his father's house but without his inheritance since he squandered it.
 
Good subject sister/brother. I like that you have strong concordance. Matthew chapter 22. Parable, kingdom of heaven. Israel rejected their calling. The prophets bid them, then the apostles. Many people won't repent and think they can do it my way. Isaiah chapter 29 and chapter 6, some people have spirit of slumber. Lot of people wont enter paradise. You need the holy spirit. Those Jesus invited to His wedding feast. Rejected it. Isaiah chapter 6:9. And He said, Go and tell this people, hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 6:13. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. ETSAH in Hebrew means = advice, counsel. PROORIZO in Greek means = Predestinate, ordain. Were talking about God's Elect. Their the tenth, holy seed, from generation to generation, who pass down the truth. Look for the substance. Where?? Teil tree. God's election inherit kingdom of God. What about enter the kingdom of God??. First Corinthians 2:10. But God hath revealed them unto us by His spirit: for the spirit search all things, yea, the deep things of God. EREUNAO in Greek means = searches, spirt. You need holy spirit to help guide you, and understand meat of God's word. 2:14. But the spirtual man received not the things of the spirit of God: Many people have spirit of stupor. Gods Elect have holy spirit. Many people go through wide gate to sheol. Its holding place for the wicked. To get through narrow gate to paradise, you need the holy spirit. SULLOGIZOMAL Greek means = path, reason with. I'm one of God's Elect. I documented this, and backed it up with Hebrew and Greek.
 
In a few words I would say that inheriting something is then your possession to enter into it.

We inherit the kingdom of God and have now entered into that kingdom.
 
Is inheriting/entering the kingdom and entering heaven the same thing?
I believe it's all the same as the kingdom of God is the kingdom of heaven in the Spiritual realm as it is here on earth as one has to be Spiritually born again to inherit God's kingdom.

It's like I inherited a house and forever more a part of it.
 
Upon baptism into Christ you become part of the earthly kingdom, a member of the body of Christ and part of the family. You inherit the riches promised after death.
 
Hebrews 9:15 kjv
15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Jesus died to establish our inheritance.
