Oh dear please forgive me if I'm a bit slow but it's early and I haven't had several cups of coffee yet. I keep making the mistake of thinking that you at least have some concept of commonly accepted matters. But I hope that at least you understand that if someone has been forgiven of their sins by Jesus Christ, that then when they appear before Him it is not a "Heaven or Hell" issue, because of course that was decided earlier. Rather it is a matter of rewards for what the Lord deems good works done during the believers lifetime, and the burning up of deeds that where not acceptable to the Lord.

Or you could say it's a matter of who will be rich in Heaven with a fine palace and all manner of other good things. And who might finish up with a little cottage and not so many other good things. Anyway here's some general information about this interesting and important subject.....
