As it says in the title, I am asking how do you know that your specific beliefs are leading you on a path to third-heaven? I don't ask this to start argument or debate but I'm very curious as to what makes you sure that your chosen church/denomination is the correct one to follow. Naturally I'd like to comment on every response to evoke more thought! I am 16 and very well-read. If/when quoting or citing scriptures please use the KJV (1611) version of the bible to keep everything mainstream and no mix up's in translations when I respond 
God Bless

Exo 20:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Heres a good rule of thumb...does God speak there from heaven.

I have already chosen my own beliefs everyone please do not assume that because I am only 16 I am asking this question because I am searching. I posted because I am curious as to what others believe and why.

At 61, I'm still figuring some out.
But you've already chosen.
I'm nondenominational, so I'm relatively certain my denomination is right .. The bible is right, Christ is right, organized religion? I'm content to try and align myself with the life, example, and teachings of Christ.. Its a lot less confusing, and its free.
I guess the best way to size-up any specific denomination, is to compare its doctrine to the bible. They should preach/teach directly from the bible. If they add their own books or prophets, odds are they're spinning a man made tale.
There are thousands of different Christian denominations, but Jesus brought a singular Truth, he didn't invent multiple variations.

This whole 'third heaven' thing may warrant its own thread. However, why start a new thread when you can derail an existing one!
Paul wrote of 'a man' (likely himself) who saw the third heaven, and saw things of which he was not permitted to speak. I've heard that the 'third heaven' was simply 'heaven' - the realm of God (the first is the atmosphere, the second is outer space).
I also thought that, in Christ, we don't get to go to the third heaven, but we do get to live on the new Earth. I'll have to check Revelation when I have a few minutes.
