There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Although this is a gray area, I believe that it comes from God at the moment of conception. I believe that as soon as a child is conceived, God gives it a soul and from then on till the person dies, it stays with them then goes to heaven. I do not believe in previous lives, just one. That is my personal opinion and how I was raised.

All of us were in the preexistence spirit world with our Father in heaven. We had agreed to take upon the risks, the joys, the sorrows, and the challenges of this mortal life so we could gain a mortal body for its eventual resurrection with spirit after death.
Hold up a new-born infant to a picture of Jesus Christ and watch the babe's eyes brighten.

There is nothing like reincarnation. The combination of the body and the spirit make of haman a living being.

The soul is the person or the life that the person has so it is formed at the moment a person is born and dies when the person dies.

Our soul came from God's own breathed. Each one of us have a clean soul. We have to return it back to God same as before.
FREE FROM SIN.
