What is the Christian stance on the idea of reincarnation not as systemic thing that everyone experiences, but as something that God grants to specific individuals, especially int he context of predestination or people who have an "evil destiny"?
Instead of introducing an innocent soul into the world that is destined to be damned is it possible that when God's plan necessitates evil taking place that a soul that has already been damned would be reincarnated to serve that evil purpose?
If Hitler's destiny was predetermined for example, is it possible that he shared the same soul as Cain?
Is there a word for this concept?

>"See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes." (Malachi 4:5)
>"But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him…" Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
(Matt 17:12-13)

Elijah and John have their own souls. Jesus was simply pointing out the similarities in their roles; reformers who preached repentance.
no there isn't such a thing, you're operating on the false assumption that christianity views predestination as an absolute which it does not. Some things are predestined such as the second coming and the eventual end of days, but individuals are free to make choices in their own lives, such as the decision to genocide millions for literally no reason at all.
In Revelation 21 god lays out his plan for building a new earth for all the good people, but all the bad people and unbelievers
("the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars")
will be damned to burn in hell forever. No reincarnation there.

Good, so all the imageboard Christcucks who only ever bothered to sit on their fat asses to shitpost about their religion will also burn in Hell.
No, there is no reincarnation at all in Christianity.

Elijah was taken into heaven by God before his dormition, he will come to announce the second coming of Christ, and be martyred.
Saint John the Forerunner is a parallel of Elijah, not Elijah literally (John 1:21)
You can be Christian and believe in reincarnation.

Or just belongs to the wrong sect?
