As a Christian - I believe that when our body dies, our Awareness [conscious mind] transfers to an unborn baby with memory erased. However, providing we qualify, we transfer directly to another dimension; with our memory intact. Supposedly, a Christian believes that The Bible is God's word. If you believe the Bible is God's word, you cannot believe in reincarnation. Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.
However that being said, it is important to understand that every life lived is a life ended and Hebrews 9:27 refers to that single life only. The life just ended usually did so with the person having left behind effects of actions that the living must endure - either good or bad. Nature's essence is balance and harmony and we are born according to the laws of Nature, so it is unreasonable to expect that a person who has died has escaped from reaping the effects of actions made when alive. It is for this reason that reincarnation is a must. Nature must be harmonized and personalities are afforded many opportunities to learn to live without creating deeds that need incarnation. Once that pure lifestyle has been reached, the task is over and reincarnation becomes no longer necessary for the pilgrim soul who is united with his-her Father in Heaven - so to speak.

∙ 12y agoNo. Some minor sects may have involved reincarnation into their doctrine, but all mainstream and the majority of minor groups have never believed in it; instead, the basic idea is that everybody shall either be sent to heaven or hell, or shall wait in purgatory, or shall simply wait in the grave, before the final judgment whereafter every soul is sent to either heaven or hell.
ANS#2:
The doctrine of reincarnation is taken for granted in most parts of Asia. In the West it was widely accepted before being anathematized by the Church at the council of Constantinople in 543 a.d. On account of its reasonableness it is gaining acceptance in the West again.
