The Zetas have stated that approximately 1,000 lifetimes is required for a young, newborn soul, to learn its first lesson, to determine whether to be Service-to-Other, caring, or Service-of-Self, self focused.
They have also stated there are well over a billion reincarnated souls on earth now

...The true Bible tells likewise

Well....I definitely don't BELIEVE in reincarnation, although I don't personally see where the bible refutes it. The concept that we have to perfect ourselves through thousands or even millions of earth lives contradicts the concept of salvation. I believe that the life we live on earth is used by God to shape and mold our spirits he way He wants us to be for our own sake. He gives us free will and we use that free will. When we make the wrong choices we learn lessons. God wants us to CHOOSE to do the right thing with our free will. But, the existance of free will and a choice to do right or wrong necessitates the existance of wrong or evil(i.e. sin) in biblical terms. The gift of Salvation is a gift because in terms of being judge for the life that we live, instead of judging our lives God instead judges the perfect life of Jesus and applies the verdict to each one of us. That doesn't make US perfect, it just means we won't be condemned for our sins. They have already been judged and the verdict paid. If we have really come to terms with what Jesus did for us our gratitude for that gift causes us to want to better ourselves and chose the right thing even though we still mess up and don't. Hopefully, we are becoming better and better in response to what He did.
What I don't exactly grasp from the bible about all this is that none of us as we are here on earth will ever get it 100% right and be able to achieve perfection on our own. But, what happens when we die? Will we be instantly "healed" of our imperfection that causes us to sin? Will we continue on our spiritual journey in an eternal existance? or will we be reborn into another earth life and continue working on our "issues"? The latter being the concept of reincarnation. Although I don't see where biblically I can deny that possibility, I logically tend to think the second case is the most likely. I think if reincarnation were the way it worked that would be an important enough issue to have addressed in the bible. Yet, I am sure there are many things we'll know in the after-life that are addressed in the bible. Some are probably very important and we'll see good reasons for now having known them until then. But, the concept of learning though experiences doesn't seem to make sense if the memory of all your lessons are wiped out and you start all over. How many people today do you see at 3 years old with the wisdom of a 70 year old? I also don't see the logic in being instantly "zapped" into perfection. Why would God force us to endure decade after decade of painful learning by showing us right and wrong, letting us choose and then enduring the consequences and then change just because our physical body has died?
I think too many people tangle up salvation with our own perfection. They are two different things and that is by God's grace or we'd all be in toruble.

The Church is a Christian organisation, founded by Jesus Christ and continues by his disciples. When Jesus gave the great commission. Jesus taught, as did his followers after him that we, that is you and me can obtain salvation in this lifetime. There was no movement of souls from different aspect of life, rather the soul or spirit that lives in us can obtain salvation or grace by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting him as saviour, by allowing this to happen will leave us open to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives so that we will live good and holy lives because we are in union, and open to the Holy Spirit working through us for the greater good of the Church and all of humankind - the position of the Catholic Church can be found as layed out in the eliments of faith as professed in the Nicean - Constantinopolitan Creed, in other words the profession of faith outlined in the Mass, there you will not find any type of references to different lifetimes or carrying on of souls.
So what I would say in answering your question then is - No the the Christian Church says nothing of this belief, and that the belief system as outlined in the question is wrong and heretical.

I agree with sam21462
We only have about 70-120 years on Earth if were lucky, and that is plenty of time to receive the gift of salvation from God. If you don't want it, you don't have to accept it.

Not sure, but, that could be what good about Eternity. The Bible gives instructions on how to get to the next level. Then for those that make it, guess then we will know what is next.

Our spirits (souls) were created by God, in a one-shot deal, just for our bodies. There's no such thing as former lives or reincarnation.

I think we have many more lives than 1,000 to make ourselves perfect for God. That'll be a little unfair to screw up on our 1,000th and be forced to damnation wouldn't?
