Are there gonna be different levels of Heaven or are there only gonna be one level of Heaven? If there are different levels of Heaven will everybody be able to get reunited with each other and everybody becoming together as one?

Paul spoke of three different degrees of heavenly glory and compared them to the stars, moon and sun. He said that this is how it would be after the resurrection. Also Stephen was caught up into the third Heaven, which wouldn't make much sense unless there was also a first and a second Heaven (or levels within Heaven as Paul taught). I know you're going to hear a whole bunch of interpretations concerning what the third Heaven really is and what the first and second Heavens are, too. Sometimes people get so caught up trying to attach symbolic or figurative meanings to everything that the simple straightforward (and in this case, literal) truth eludes them. There are three degrees of heavenly glory (three levels within Heaven). Jesus Christ said that He will reward every man according to his works. Since there are different levels of righteousness, why shouldn't there be different levels of reward.

Yeah, like on a cruise ship - there are paradisers 3rd class, 2nd class and 1st class. The interesting questions are: can I upgrade once I am booked? Are there elevators between the levels? Who can ride the elevators - everyone or just the personnel, the guardian angels armed with heavenly tasers? All important questions to answer. I'd expect at least some form of communication between the levels, like Skype or something. What if I make it to 3rd class but later decide to date a chick from the 1st class to teach her how to spit and ride the edge of a cloud?
Levels of heavedn is only for catholics. The other religions only have one level. This is because catholics are the only ones that have two classes of sin: mortal and venial--kind of like felony and misdeamenor respectively.

I don't believe in different levels of heaven, per se, but I do believe in different rewards in heaven.

Yeah, like katzpur said, Mormons believe in this as well, and I'm sure there are more.
I would certainly hope that Heaven will be one entire place for everybody, I do know the rewards are based on our good works, deeds and trying our best to live our lives free from sin.
