Some members believe in a reincarnation .
After death the soul is believed to leave the body, and to live again in another human body. They cite references from the Christian Scriptures which show that the concept of reincarnation was common during Jesus' time. In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark , John the Baptist is referred to as the reincarnation of Elija. Jesus neither criticized the people for their beliefs, nor declared reincarnation to be heresy. Among believers in reincarnation, each lifetime is viewed as a time of preparation for the next life, leading towards eventual perfection.
