Do you think there are "different measures in Heaven?"?
Do you think we will all be equal when we are with God in Heaven or do you believe that our "judgment" will determine our position with God in Heaven???
Before you respond, you may want to take a moment to reflect in the Word of God....the answer is there!

Yes there are different measures in God's kingdom. The parable of the talents the Christ spoke of demonstrates this.

Assuming that Heaven is real in the way that religions portray it, having "positions" or some kind of class system is ridiculous. Why would I wont to go to Heaven to be judged when we all already judged by other people here on Earth?
A lot of religious people believe in God and try to do good things in this world to get a secure spot in Heaven but this is idiotic. We should be doing good deeds because we simply want to make this world a better place. This alone should be enough to get into Heaven.
But, of course, this is assuming Heaven is real... Which I do not believe

If by measures you mean rewards, then yes. We are equally loved by God, but rewarded differently according to our works. Some works will be burned up, and others will remain. The beauty is, we all will be rewarded with eternal life in the presence of God, and yes, there are different positions; ie 24 elders in Revelation, chairs for the Kings, etc.

Heaven is supposed to be a relaxing/pain-free/happy place...with no more suffering or sadness. If you are good enough to make it into heaven i believe everybody will be equal. God forgives all that sin if you repent and are truly sorry for it. I figure if a person doesn't pass judgment period, he'd just send that person to hell..Because if we were all treated differently in heaven...then it would be just like Earth.

Theres only 3 heavens (The sky where airplanes fly, The Universe where there are stars and galaxies, and then theres the Heaven where God lives), but all believers will go to the Heaven With God, the Third Heaven, if you will, to be his people and to be with him forever!
But some will get extra gifts, depending on all the good things you have done.

I believe that there are no levels in Heaven. We are all equal in the eyes of God.

Well,I think it is only fair that those who do more good/Do the Lord's will should have a higher position than those who are lazy,didn't bother and likely caused suffering as a result of their inaction.
But I guess Heaven should be equal.

there are 11 different promises of varying rewards given and listed in the book of revelation alone.
in the LDS church there are 9 degrees of the resurrection and there is the promise of exaltation.
most christians will not obtain exaltation unless they have a baptism for the dead and proxy done for them so they will have something less then level 7 thru 9. until all of us have temple ordinances done in the resurrection and the millenium.
not everyone will gain a resurrection of glory as well, and definitely the sons of perdition are cast off into outerdarkness.

We are all equal in Heaven although some Great christians will have greater rewards.
My reward is nothing more than an everlasting life. That is all i ever desired anyways.

It sounds like you don't really want the answer, but if you do, here it is:
Our "judgement" will determine our position with God in Heaven.
Source(s): The word of God, as found in Doctrine and Covenants section 76, also reflected in 1 Corinthians 15:40.
