In another thread I made some comments to which another poster expressed interest in responding to - but I have decided to separate out the comments into different threads - so here goes the first:
Well let's just say I believe some can be saved from hell
Revelation 20:13
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
I also believe heaven has an order - there is more than just a saved state.
Matthew 20:23
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
John 14:2
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Another poster commented:
So I pose a couple of questions and scriptures for the purpose of this discussion:
1. Do the wicked all receive the same punishment?
for the purpose of this discussion some might find the following relevant:
Matthew 11:24
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
2. Is it possible to be saved from hell?
Do the wicked go to hell before or after judgment?
3. Do the saved all receive the same reward?
an additional scripture:
1 Corinthians 15:23
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

That being said, I'm sure a number of us would like to continue this conversation, in a way that's not a distraction to the goal to pray for this forum.
