Re: Do you have to speak in tongues to be saved?

I also think that there are levels of rewards in heaven. Jesus speaks of laying up treasure in heaven, and also of the reward that will be received in heaven. I do believe that there will be levels of reward somehow in heaven that have to correspond with our level of obedience here on earth, which is why just "being saved" should not be goal we are aiming for. I believe in the gospels Jesus was teaching that our goal should not be just to get "saved", but to go as many extra miles as we can for the kingdom, and to lay up our treasure in heaven, not here on earth.

Which could throw the whole "salvation" concept into another tailspin, if one is to consider that perhaps the person who just believed, got saved, and never bothered to obey much further in his life, as opposed to the one who believed, and who sacrificed all, picked up his cross, sold all he had, and so on will most likely each receive a different reward in heaven.
