There are two schools of thought when it comes to whether or not the believer will receive rewards in heaven based on what he or she did here on earth. One view holds that all believers will enjoy the same, or similar, existence in heaven; there will be no ranking or any other means of hierarchy in the afterlife.
The opposing viewpoint posits that those who have been extra faithful in this life will be graded, and thus enjoy extra benefits, on how faithfully they served God in this life. For instance, if a believer lives as close to a perfect life as he or she possibly can, that person will receive extra blessings in heaven.
