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.

There is a song by Michael Martin Murphey that pretty much sums up my view of reincarnation.
Leaving out the chorus it goes as follows;
"What is reincarnation?" A cowboy asked his friend.
His friend replied "Well Son,
it happens when your life has reached its end.
You see, they comb your hair and they wash your neck
and they clean your fingernails.
And they you down in a batted box
far away from life's prevails.
Now the box and you goes in a hole
that's been dug into the ground.
And reincarnation starts
when you're planted beneath the mound.
You see the box melts down just like the clods(?)
with you who is inside.
And then, you're just beginning your transformation ride".
"Well, in a while some rain's
gonna come and fall upon the ground.
'Til one day on your lonely little grave,
a little flower will be found.
And say a hoss should wander by
and graze upon the flower
that once was you but now becomes
a vegetative bower.
That little flower that the hoss done ate up
with all his other feed
becomes bone and fat and muscle,
essentials for the steed.
But some he's consumed, he can't use.
So it passes through.
Finally it lays there on the ground,
this thing that once was you.
And then say that I should wander by
and gaze upon the ground.
And wonder and ponder
on this object that I've found.
Well it sure makes me think of reincarnation,
of life and death and such.
And I ride away concludin' -
You ain't changed all that much"

Yes. Not in every case, though. Hindus believe that, depending on how you live your life, you can be reincarnated as another human or some lower form of life. Buddhist believe we reincarnate from human to human, from my understanding. I believe that a baby who dies minutes after birth will be given another chance to live in this world. The Bible says that no one in this world will enter heaven until they are tested in this world. A three day old baby cannot be judged because it never had the opportunity to experience good nor bad. In this case, I believe the baby is reincarnated into another newborn's body.

That's like asking do I believe I'm alive now. As Voltaire said, "It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection." I know reincarnation is true.

I believe in the soul going through a cycle of physical death and rebirth. When I die, I believe my soul will be reborn in to another human body after a period of reflection on the lessons of this life. New souls are born, and old ones die or move on. The age of your soul may determine how wise you seem in life. I believe that to break the cycle and leave the wheel, you have to pay all debts owed by you to other souls, and have all outstanding debts (by others) paid to your soul.

Like Hinduism teaches, that a person comes back as a worm or a dog based upon what they did in this life and they can't remember what happened in the life before?
No, I believe what the Bible teaches.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

in this period I begin thinking in reincanation....because I think that all people have a mission...a sort of CREDITO o DEBITO in front of life...for example I think that ni this life I have to be more COSTANTE..DETERMINATA..I have to learn what's the mining of love...I have a lot of love to give but I don't Know the way to give it...I give love in my acts in hospital ...in the little thinks...but it's a long and slowly process of learning and I don't know when i'll come at the end of this process.....what mission do you think you have? kisses from Italy!!!
