will the payment simultaneously rejected?
One of the transaction will be confirmed and the other will be dropped by the network. You can never have both of the transaction getting confirmed. Double spending is relatively difficult but it is possible.To prevent double spending, one confirmation is mostly enough for small transactions, for big transactions, 6 confirmations would be enough as anyone with less than 51% of the hashrate have very less chance of double spending the transaction.
