No. They believe they are space aliens.
Much of the controversy surrounding Scientology is a consequence of the doctrine of the immortal spirit in combination with the acceptance of past lives.
The logical extension is that if one is immortal, then one did not always have past lives in human form, only in historically documented cultures, or only on planet Earth. In fact, given a truly immortal being, and immense periods of time, unusual coincidences between events widely separated in time and space would easily attract more attention and notoriety than the commonplace and often boring lifetime of, for example, a serf or a peasant. A truly immortal being might not even be restricted to living his or her existence in a single universe.
Hubbard is documented to have written about past life memories that include a variety of lines of recall, including all stages of human evolution, genetic line recalls in other lines of development, including the clam (see Scientology History of Man), lives on past planets as other life forms, and real and implanted memories from the alien spirits that Xenu trapped on Earth 75 million years ago.

I am a Scientologist. I do believe in God. I do also beleive there was a man on earth named Jesus or Isa or some such name.
My personal belief is that Jesus was exponentially more a Spirit than most other people in his time. He put his integrity as a Spiritual Being well before his body. This definitely seperates him from the realm of common Homosapien.
I am sure if you get a group of Christians together and get them all to draw a picture of and name God's three main attributes you would find different viewpoints. The fact is God in not exactly the same to anyone. Even if God appeared to a group of people and told them to do five things. These people would go off and do the five things and argue about how, when and why they had to do them. That is the nature of the body. The body survives to make more bodies. It does not survive to create.
As a Spiritual Being you create, admire, care, have interest and flow outwards into the world.
As a body you consume, love(pull things towards yourself), wan't care, try to be interesting and flow inwards from the world.
All Religions have their belief and all Religions have a God given right to their belief. It is not up to any one of us to dictate the belief of another. That is my belief. We are all entitled to think what we think.
I respect you as a Christian and know if you practice your belief we can live in harmony and sort out the elements on this planet which seek to destroy, harm, lie, decieve and defame one and all.

hi amanda, i'm a Scientologist. i've got faith there's a God, preferrred Being or as some could say an limitless ruling stress encompassing all. My own perception is that a Spirit embodied as a guy became present day on earth it sluggish in the past. He became easily extra knowledgable and of a better comprehend-how than maximum then or perhaps now. His call could have been Jesus or Isa or another call. easily he taught many sane training that guy at present nonetheless does not have the braveness to look at and comprehend.

In Scientology there are 8 Dynamics or 8 parts of life thro' which each individual is striving to survive. These are urges towards existence in 8 different spheres:
Dynamic 1 Self
Dynamic 2 creativity,sex, family unit, rearing of children
Dynamic 3 Groups or as a group, race, etc
Dynamic 4 Mankind
Dynamic 5 All Life forms, including plants, animals, birds etc
Dynamic 6 Physical or Material Universe(Matter Energy Space & Time)
Dynamic 7 Spiritual Universe, spiritual beings, life source.
Dynamic 8 God, Supreme Being, the infinite,or as infinity.
There are no statements made about God or the Supreme Being other than to say acknowledge it's existence as the "Eighth Dynamic". There is no attempt to define or describe this concept.
In Scientology does not intrude in this area,it is left to the individual.
Scientology deals with the spiritual nature of man and his relationship to others and the physical universe which he operates in. It directly addresses Dynamics 1 thro 7.
It is not a messianic religion , which means it is not based
on worship of or faith in someone or something.
There have been many "Messiahs" or teachers or messangers. Moses, Guatama Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed.... these were all teachers of sacred or spiritual lore. But we consider them men not God or gods.

I am a Scientologist, so I feel qualified to answer.
Yes I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe in God. I am Roman Catholic and Scientologist. My Swedish cousin is Lutheran, and a Scientologist. We both attend both churches as well.
Don't believe what the athiests or spiteful people say. We do believe. Sorry bugbears!
And no, we don't believe we are part of some alien race. That is baloney, and is spread by groups such as The Heathens, a group of atheists who, through public demonstrations and distribution of publications, are deeply committed to spreading public antagonism toward ALL religion.

Although they claim that you can believe whatever you want and still be a member, the fact is that the Christian god doesn't fit into their view of the world. They believe that peoples' souls/spirits are reborn many times, which clearly doesn't fit in Christianity.
Also the whole story about alien civilizations existing 75,000,000 years ago that higher level Scientologists get to know, contradicts the biblical creation myth.

I believe there is No God butt Allah
(Sura 112. Al Ikhlash)
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (١)اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ (٢)لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ (٣)وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ (٤)
1. Say: He is Allah, the one and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
======================
But Jesus Christ (God's praise and peace upon him) : he is One of God's Apostles
Surat(009. At Taubah : 30 - 33)
{وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللّهِ وَقَالَتْ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُضَاهِؤُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبْلُ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ} (30) سورة التوبة وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُضَاهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ (٣٠)اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ (٣١)يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ (٣٢)هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ (٣٣)
30. The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. that is a saying from their mouth; (in this) They but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah.s curse be on them: How They are deluded away from the truth!
31. They take their priests and their anchorites to be their Lords In derogation of Allah, and (They take As their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet They were commanded to worship but one Allah. there is no god but He. Praise and glory to him: (far is He) from having the partners They associate (with Him).
32. Fain would They extinguish Allah.s light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, Even though the unbelievers may detest (it).
33. It is He who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of truth, to proclaim it over all religion, Even though the Pagans may detest (it).

No, nothing to do with God or Jesus.
They believe they are the immortal souls of Thetans brought to Earth (Teeaageeack) and murdered inside Hawaiian volcanos by Xenu, Evil Overlord of the Universe.
If you think that is bad it gets worse. L.Ron Hubbard was a failed Science fiction writer with mental problems who decided to start a religion. Scientology was the result.
I highly recommend looking up what scientology is.

Hubbard was nuts and it is false to claim he ever had an engineering degree.

They only call it a church to avoid taxes. You can believe what you want in scientology. It's a mixture of psychology and engineering.
L. Rob Hubbard (who had an engineering degree) developed a counseling system to make a person 'clear' of things we pick up in our subconscious mind throughout our life. They snag us from reacting in the 'correct' way and keep us from being the creative person we can be.
The psychology field rejected his ideas so he patended his ideas and wrote the book. Then he promptly made his 'church' of scientology, developed a marketing system, bought a big boat, charged much money to go to the seminars, charged much money for the hardware your need to become 'clear' and kept his money on the big boat in international waters just in case the Gov't decided his 'church' wasn't a church after all.
