Yes. I actually believe in rebirth (the ability to just be whomever you want to be starting today, right now, like you just got a clean slate) and reincarnation (the tendency of the soul to be reborn in a new body). The first one matters, the second one is...*practically* immaterial. I suppose if I'm reincarnated I'd like to come back as a human.

Yes I do... Bodhisattvahood would be very nice, but I'll not likely attain the causes and conditions for that in this life, so I'm hoping to take rebirth in a pure land where I can practice the Dharma all the time w/o interruptions, etc.

I'm not so sure about rebirth. However, if you look at this universe, nature recycles everything. So, in a sense, the idea of "rebirth" is nothing more than recycling. So...why not?
I'd like to be Skeet Ulrich's towel, but only if I die while he's still a hotty.

Not in the physical. I do believe that you can be born again, spiritually, which grants you everlasting life after this one. It is a gift made real for us by Jesus' death on the cross. We will have the same form but with perfected bodies, the way we were intended to be, but still recognizable to those who knew us here...if they are there too. Best part is we will be able to see God face to face and enjoy all that He originally wanted for us. Don't know exactly what it will be like; our limited minds couldn't comprehend it if God tried to show us. But it will be more awesome than anything we can possibly imagine.
The gift is free but the decision is ours to accept it or not.
Hope to see you there.

Yes...

Spiritual rebirth is key to getting into heaven

There is the physical birth and for those who choose to believe in Christ and Him as their savior there is spiritual birth. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born of the water and the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
After the spiritual birth I became a Believer in Christ=Christian.

If by "rebirth" you mean reincarnation, the answer is no. We have but one life on planet Earth. After death, we either spend eternity with God in His kingdom, or we suffer miserably without God in our lives.

I believe in the christian rebirth of the spirit when you come to know Jesus. not visical rebirth as an animal or stone.

Yes, though I don't believe people are re-incarnated as animals, etc. When a person is re-incarnated, they come back as a person. I've never heard of someone going thru a regressed life session and coming out of it saying "I was a puppy in a previous life"

You mean rehencarnation (big word)! I do belive in it. It is a form of nature that can bring us back together again. I would proabally want to be a dog or cat...... just to see how they live. If you want ur fortune told, contact me.
