I didn't know you believed in reincarnation. But, then, I never really asked.
Actually... some denominations basically do say that if you believe in Jesus you get into heaven. My parents were the black sheep of our family because they converted from the RCC to a more fundamentalist denomination (the Church of the Nazarene). I remember this one skit we did in Sunday school. They had a ply wood cut out of a train and the teacher was the conductor. All of the kids got big poster boards in the shape of tickets with things written on it. Mine said "good deeds." So we went up one by one to the conductor to hand in our tickets and we all got turned away. I knew I had to be safe because I had the ticket that said good deeds and Jesus would never turn away a good person. So it came my turn and I handed her my ticket and she turned me away. The stupid ginger bully in our class had the fucking ticket that said "Jesus" and she got right on board. I was furious. I told my teacher that she shouldn't have gotten on the train to heaven just because

You don't remember that day in upper Manser when Kevin spent like 2 hours mocking me for believing in reincarnation, despite the fact that, in true douchebag fashion, he had no idea what he was talking about? Just thinking about that night makes me want to go find him and punch him in the face. lol Either way, yes, most neo-pagans believe in reincarnation. I wouldn't be surprised if Tracey did too.
MOST denominations believe that simply accepting Jesus gets you into heaven - Catholics are one of the few that don't. The whole thing is ridiculous. But Catholics are in the boat to hell all the same according to other denominations because they pray to Mary and the saints.
The stupidity of it is astounding. Mother Theresa in hell? Mahatma freaking Gandhi? You have to be kidding me. Meanwhile, someone like Adolf Hitler could potentially be in Heaven because he believed in Jesus? Seriously?
(Ok so technically, Hitler can't be in Heaven because he committed suicide, which is a mortal sin. But you get my point.)
