Can you post the reference to being caught up in the 3rd level please - I’ve never notice. I think that Muslims believe in the 7 heavens (possibly 9 hells as well).?

Paul said third heaven. Maybe it is what is called paradise. Could be that is also where the thief on the cross went as well.

I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth😉 such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth😉 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. (2Co 12:2-4 KJV)

We do not know what is out there, and the bible is not clear on that. Could be that there are levels of hell as well. Jesus spoke of the rich man going to hell and Lazarus going to a place called Abrahams bosom. Not sure what all these things mean, the doctrine that the body and soul are one and the same is false as Jesus cleared that up ie man can kill the body, but only God can kill the soul. The soul lives on after death and goes somewhere... we dont know the details.
