Not exactly. They believe that when you die, you'll go to heaven (to be with God), hell (because you were just a terrible person), or purgatory (to make up for the sins you committed on earth). Christians do not believe you are born into another life when you die, though.
The official "Christianity" answer is no. You apparently get only one kick at the cat.Some Christians have a different slant on the issue. Many believe in past lives, reincarnation, people being "old souls" and so on. Like many issues there id no answer of all of the group.
= Hinduism believes in karma but karma does not mean rebirth. =
Absolutely not. There are few religions as different from each other as Christianity and Hinduism. Christianity is monotheist. Hinduism is polytheist. Christianity believes in an afterlife. Hinduism believes in reincarnation. Christianity opposes caste systems. Hinduism is based on a caste system. Christianity has a moral code based on love. Hinduism has a moral code based on it's Caste System. There are more differences but these should make it obvious that the two religions have little in common.

He believes in reincarnation to a point. He does not believe in the Caste hierarchy associated with reincarnation. He believes human life to be the most precious and plant, mineral, animal at one level below that. He also believes one can in ones lifetime become one with God (Gurmookh) and after death one with God.

As far as I know, The true early christians never taught Reincarnation. As you probably well know, Christianity came from Judaism. Judaism never taught reincarnation. Reincarnation is primaraly a Pagan, that is either a religion that is not an abrahamic religion (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) or a religion that worships many gods, concept. Misguided early christians, may have incorporated reincarnation into their aldulturated form of Christianity. However, they were clearly not influential enough to influence mainstream Christianity. either that, or they saw the truth, in my opinion.
Reincarnation is not a christian belief. You are either sent to heaven for eternity or hell for eternity, or you go to purgatory.
The answer is Buddhism. It believes in the teachings of the Buddha.
