To be short and sweet: No. Not at all.
= Reincarnation and The Bible. = The most "convincing" texts of this kind are the following:
1) Matthew 11,14 and 17,12-13, concerning the identity of John the Baptist;
2) John 9,2, "Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?";
3) John 3,3, "No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again";
4) James 3,6, "the wheel of nature";
5) Galatians 6,7, "A man reaps what he sows";
6) Matthew 26,52, "all who draw the sword will die by the sword";
7) Revelation 13,10, "If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed."
For full text, see link. Note; numbers 5, 6 &7 refers to Karma I believe. See also Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
The Bible contains not one single reference to reincarnation as it is taught in eastern religions.
Reincarnation is not only not found in the Bible, it is also not part of the Christian faith.
The Bible, and all Christian churches follow the teaching that 'it is appointed once to die and after this the judgment.' There is no continual cycle of death and rebirth.
Verses clearly taken out of context have nothing whatsoever to do with reincarnation, In particular the John 3 reference to being 'born again' is referring to the necessity of a spiritual birth, since people are effectively as they are, 'dead' to God and His will and ways and so need to be 'born again'. This has absolutely no relation whatsoever to a person being reincarnated as taught say, in Hinduism. Reading the whole passage in context makes this abundantly clear.
Galatians 6:7 refers to the 'law of consequences' in that our actions produce results. It doesn't even address the issue of reincarnation but is talking about actions in this present life. Again, the context of Christian life being discussed in the passage makes this clear.

Was reincarnation taught by the early Christians?
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.
