Notice that Jesus didn't say we are all equal in Heaven

What does it take to get into Heaven?  Accepting Jesus and your personal Lord and Savior.  Pretty simple.  Anyone can do it.  Anyone can chose to go to Heaven, or not go to Heaven as the case may be. 

But what about when we get there?  Are we all equal in Heaven?  Many people think that we are all equal in Heaven.  I believe they are wrong.  Here is one of several Scriptures that I believe back up my belief that we are not all equal in Heaven.

 

Matthew 18:1-5(NKJV)

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 

and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

 

The disciples ask Jesus who will be the greatest in Heaven.  Jesus explains to them who will indeed be the greatest in Heaven.

More importantly look at what Jesus didn't say.  He didn't correct them and tell them that we will all be equal in Heaven.  Jesus confirmed that some will be greater in Heaven than others.
