I think the Mormons have the number of people that will go to heaven down to a set number and it is not very large like several thousand. That is of all time. Which makes it kind of funny when they are trying to recruit you in their minds you were predestined never to go to heaven.

Those are Jehovah's Witnesses.

They believe that there is a two tier system, that there are 144,000 people who will go to heaven and the rest will remain on earth.

Mormons believe you become a god and get your own planet
