What Happens When We Die? Unless Christ comes the reality is you and I are marching towards a destiny at your local cemetery. The question is will everyone be equal in heaven? Your biblical views about life after death.

But I found this.
Five Crowns In Heaven

I dont have any biblical views about heaven, but I have some non biblical views. Maybe ill get to talk about them in another thread.
 
Not Everyone Will Have the Same Status in Heaven.
"So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God's laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven"(Matthew 5:19, NLT).

"But many who seem to be important now will be the least important then, and those who are considered least here will be the greatest then" (Matthew 19:30, NLT).

If everyone is equal in Heaven, then how can some be "greatest" while others are "least"? This is not a contradiction, but an indication of the true nature of Heaven.

Christ Will Award Us with Crowns
Some of our heavenly treasure will take the form of rewards we receive from Jesus Christ:
"For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames" (1 Corinthians 3:11-15, NLT).

All who trust in Jesus Christ will experience eternity in His presence. In Heaven, there will be no sorrow, death, crying, or pain. However, there is no guarantee that we will not experience regret. Despite our greatest efforts on His behalf, each of us will probably look back on our earthly lives and wish we had done more to advance the kingdom of Heaven. We won't look back out of jealousy or envy or pride, but with the simple wish we would have glorified His name to a greater degree. In Heaven, we'll have all of eternity to reflect on what we could have done for the Lord. As such, we should take advantage of the time we have left.

Excellent video!
 
Post 6 is material I use to suupport my assertion that we will be equal (we will all be there) but unequal (we will not all be adorned or recognized equally).

To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. Matthew 13:12 NLT
 
I do not think I will be equal to John, Paul, Moses, Abraham and a few others I read about in my kjv. It will still be the best place to be even with great men like listed over me. ill be happy and content.
 
Why should we care to be first or last. Just glad to be in the presence of the Lord. Thought the bible says we will sleep until judgment day unless raptured.

some hold to that. others like 11 Cor 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

I don't think it matters to know which is right; all that matters is ending up with the Lord. And if the Lord in the meanwhile leads to know the answer to that, fine. ;)
