  1.  @thastayapongsak4422  No, Christianity teaches that soul is immortal and contradicts reincarnation. Also, to contrast, Penitent Thief story teaches that a repentance is enough, period. No karma, no dues to pay, you're free as soon as you repent – it was important to note that the Thief was already crucified, so it was physically impossible for him to repay anything or become good or whatever in life, as he died soon after, and in tradition becomes the FIRST person to follow Jesus into heaven. One of traditional beliefs is before Resurrection, souls awaited in Sheol, Judaist underworld similar to Greek Hades. But note that there wasn't one view in Jewish faith on that, i.e. in New Testament we see conflicts between Sadducees, an aristocratic denomination that didn't have afterlife, and Pharisees, which was the denomination later Rabbinic Judaism was founded upon, which shares a lot of beliefs with Christianity, despite being THE most critiqued religion by Jesus in Gospels. There were also other splinters like Essenes (of Dead Sea Scrolls fame) living a hermit lifestyle in caves and rebellions Zealots, which put minor religious differences aside as they considered fighting back against Rome more important. And Purgatory is a mostly-Catholic concept closer to Buddhist Arahant, but it's not based on canon. IIRC, there's still debates between salvation based on Faith and salvation based on Deeds (and views that work in both and/or either), but the somewhere-in-the-middle temporary place between heaven and hell is not a widely followed belief.
