There's evidence that Jesus travelled to India and Tibet in his younger years, there where the bible says he was a carpenter during those years. There's many video's on this subject. Here are just two:

This is important to know because it helps us to understand what Jesus really meant with that you have to go through him to enter the Kingdom of God. What this really means is that you have to become ego-less (like Jesus) to enter the Kingdom of God.
In Eastern traditions this is often referred to as ego-death or Enlightenment. And to achieve ego-death we need to go within. "Know Thyself" and "The Kingdom of God is Within" is what Jesus said.
Praying really hard to God and Jesus and accepting Jesus as your saviour will not get you out of the reincarnation process. And yes, there is evidence that Jesus originally spoke about reincarnation as well. But obviously the TPTB did not want to empower the people and therefore they would have had enough motivation to scrap reincarnation from the bible.
If you don't achieve ego-death, like Jesus, in this lifetime you don't have to worry. As long as you did not live your life in a completely selfish manner, you will go back to that place called heaven and then after a while you decide to reincarnate again. Even if you do end up in hell (which will feel like an eternity) you will get a chance again to redeem yourself. Even our brothers and sisters from the darkside were created by God.
Don't let dogmatic believers convince you that you only have one chance. People saying you only have one chance should have a good hard look at themselves. Instilling people with fear is not a good thing and is not what God and Jesus are about.
‘can only be here one time?’
Dude any god that would make me come back and live this life more than once, can take a hike. Reincarnation is a big lie from satan.
1 life is enough here. I don’t want to come back here again. F that! Christ’s death on the cross and salvation is enough for me. I am humbled and grateful. I am confident in my salvation! You should be to. It’s not what we do, it’s what HE did.
Imagine, thinking that you could add anything to the foot of the Cross. That any of your works or getting rid of your ‘ego’, would grant you eternity in heaven. Only your EGO would tell you a lie like that. The irony - 😂🤣
Satan was the head number one egotistically being known to mankind, and to the Angels. He thought so highly of himself, he was able to brainwash a third of the angels to follow him. The only person who’s telling somebody they have more than one chance, is Satan. Don’t listen.
Your life on the other side is so great that we voluntarily chose to come here to experience friction (pain and suffering), because it's pain and suffering that gets us out of our comfort zones. Heaven is one big comfort zone and therefore not really conducive for learning lessons and growing as a soul.
It's pain and suffering that causes us to ask questions which eventually, after many lives, forces us to start looking within.
Know Thyself, The Kingdom of God is Within.
