Buddhists believe in rebirth due to the law of cause and effect. This basically states that any action will result in some other action.
Since Buddhists believe this is a natural law, they believe it applies to cognitive action as well as physical action. So cognition would not just disappear, but would continue on in some form.

Most denominations of Christian theology teach the concept of eternal life after death, provided through the atonement of Christ, thus it is generally believed that when a person's body dies, the soul is separated from the body and continues to exist forever. The term resurrection of the dead is generally used to refer to the idea that the dead bodies of all or some of humanity will be reformed and rejoined with the soul at the end of the world. This phrase is included at the end of the Nicene Creed.
Those who hold it applies to all mankind also call it the General Resurrection, on the grounds that it involves mankind in general.
Various Christian sects disagree on the exact nature of the resurrection.
Since Christianity was born out of Jewish praxis and worldview, it is worthwhile to point out that Christianity's doctrine of resurrection appears to be merely an extension of the classic biblical Jewish belief.
While the Christian doctrine of resurrection conforms to biblical Jewish belief, there is, however, a minority point of view, held by certain Jewish mystics and others, which asserts that those Jewish beliefs are, in and of themselves, in contradiction of the Revelation and Doctrine of the resurrection as taught by Isaiah (Isaiah 8:16 and 26:19), Daniel (12:1 and 13) and Malachi (3:23-24), in which the resurrection was understood as being a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'. This however may be only a reflection of the anti-belief in resurrection held by some.
Jesus himself, in this matter, appears to have been in general agreement with the biblical doctrinal position held by the Pharisees, as illustrated by his response to a question regarding marriage at the resurrection (Matthew 22:23-32).
If the minority viewpoint on the doctrine of the resurrection is correct, the fundamental conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees may have been over the interpretation of the resurrection as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'. According to this viewpoint, the Pharisees misinterpreted it as the doctrine of a physical raising of a dead body from the grave, while the Sadducees denied the resurrection altogether.
Most Christian churches continue to uphold this belief: that there will be a general resurrection of the dead at "the end of time", as prophesied by Paul when he said, "...he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world..." (Acts 17:31 KJV) and "...there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust." (Acts 24:15 KJV). Most also teach that it is only as a result of the atoning work of Christ, by grace through faith, that people are spared eternal punishment as judgment for their sins.
Early Christianity reflects the Pharisaic view of the resurrection of flesh, rather than that of the Sadducees who believed in no afterlife.
There is also a minority point of view, held by the Gnostic writers of the Nag Hammadi Codices, that Jesus taught the resurrection as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'; in which case Paul, the Pharisee, is understood as having contradicted the Teaching of Jesus on the resurrection. Paul's doctrine then established the basis of orthodox Christian theology.
Many of the early Church Fathers cited the Old Testament examples listed in the Judaism section above as either foreshadowing Jesus's resurrection, or foreshadowing or prophesying a future resurrection of all the dead. The Nicene Creed concludes that Christians "look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come."

Of course.
People to forget that we humans have a "Spirit-man/woman" inside us.
If we accept JESUS as our LORD and Savior and ask Him to forgive us for all our lifetime Sins, we will.....not maybe but, will go be with the LORD in Heaven forever when we physically die.
And if we refuse to ask Him as LORD and Savior and repentence, we will face eternal Firey Hell.
Don't ever think that "Good Works" will let you into Heaven. That's a big lie from Satan himself.
Only our {Trust} in JESUS's
work on the Cross will get us to Heaven. Heaven has been paid for by Him dyeing on the Cross. All we need to do is accept His free Gift.

not a chance. first, there are 5 worlds that a human go through. which is the world of souls, the world of womb, the world of earth, the world of grave and finally the next world. when a person die, his body will be buried. Along with his soul nor his wealth,nor his children, nor his relatives, nor his status...only his good deeds. then will come two angels, mungkar and nakir questioning on this well known question, who is your god? who is your leader? what is your book? and other. only good deeds can help him in this world as the soul was too frighten by the angels look and sound. for devout person, his grave will be as wide as world but for those who deny HIS words, his grave willbe as close as his bones will meet together at both side!...and if someone said they had seen ghost of their late father or anything, it was only the play of satan that wanted to mislead human...

Only God gives us resurrected bodies. The form is the same form that Jesus had when He resurrected after He died. You can read about His body of flesh and bones, yet He appeared to His apostles in a locked door room. Read God's Word and you will get your answers and Truth. God bless

Many religions believe so. Whether it's true or not, it's a nice philosophy. It goes along with "What goes around comes around." If you were good, you get to be something better. Be bad, and you get a lower life form!
If it's real, I was a mean man in my past!

Yes! Job asked that same question more than 2000 years ago. The answer is the same today as it was then. Would you like to know how the Bible answers that question? What does the Bible teach about a resurrection?
Jesus Christ told about a resurrection when he was on the earth. John 5:28-29
