I don't, but several of the people I have been in previous lives did.

I've seen no evidence that it is true.
It would be nice to think that the world actually follows some rule of karma or something, where good things are rewarded and bad things are punished - even if it is in the next life - but it would also be nice if a naked Rachel Weisz made me a sandwich. Just because I think the universe would be a better place if it worked that way doesn't make it so.
And if reincarnation is true - how do they explain population expansion? There's more than 6 billion human souls on the planet today. Are they all reincarnations of souls that have lived before? There didn't used to be 6 billion people around - so where did they come from?
Sorry, just doesn't work logistically.

I'm a Christian and I don't believe in reincarnation. I think Hindus in India and China do. We were made mortal like the animals-God told us to eat of the Tree of Life (symbolic for obeying God's express commands) and then GAIN immortality. But Adam and Eve, as representative man and woman decided to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and thus, usurped God's authority and prerogative in deciding for themselves what was good or bad and right or wrong. This created a gulf between God and man and God blocked eternal life for man until that day when He would come back as Man to take the punishment for our sins and thus give us through grace as a gift, eternal life and salvation. We have done nothing. He has done all. Reincarnation sounds like recycling spirits and that just doesn't sound right. But, the same people in India who believe this would rather starve in Calcutta and Bangladesh than eat a cow. Go figure.

absolutely. i believe heaven and hell are really the same place (the astral plane, the one we occasionally venture to during our dream state) where ones thoughts become manifest imediately, so someone with pure thoughts sees a heavenly place and one with malicious thoughts creates his own hell. We die, and we spend time on the astral plane, and when we are ready to come back to earth, we get a body, and start from scratch again learning what we can. Say what you will, but this is not inconsistent with believing in Christ. He was the first to pass the astral plane and merge with the source of all creation. he then returned to the astral plane and continues to help us from there until the day which he chooses to reincarnate. all world religions point in this direction from hiduism to buddhsm to christianity (which held reincarnation as part of the doctorine until constintine changed everything) to ancient egyptian belief to even the native american beliefs. its all differnt ways of describing the same thing. as the modern christian sees it when we die, we go to either heaven or hell depending on the way you lived your life and if you have placed your trust in Christ. that doesnt mean you dont come back eventually. how can you learn all you need to know to complete your existence in one life time? expecially if you think all you need to do is believe one simple thing... hardly a difficult lesson. its a big key, but not the only one.

Yes, I followed Christianity for many years and I believed in reincarnation then too.

No. Recarnation is a lie to get people to believe that they get more than one chance to get things right. We only get one chance and if we refuse to allow Jesus to be our Lord and Savior over our life, game over, there is no other chance. It is Hell for eternity.

Reincarnation? Nope.
If there is such thing as reincarnation then what's the purpose trying to be a good person? I can come to this world again and fix every mistake that I did in my previous life.
If we follow that logic, everyone goes to heaven and all those unjustice events stay unpunished. Makes no sense, to me.
