I just thought of another aspect to this. Christianity teaches that 'salvation' (going to 'heaven') occurs by accepting Jesus. Some version of Christianity, like Catholicism, also emphasize being 'good' (not 'sinning') but even so, salvation is only possible because Jesus died on the cross and rose again. The Evangelicals believe 'good works' have zero bearing on salvation, and all the person has to do is believe in Jesus.
So the amount of importance to Jesus' role in their salvation varies depending on the denomination, but in forms of Christianity, across the board, the key to it even being possible at all is that Jesus died on the cross.
To be presented with the idea that 'salvation' (graduation to 4D, in our terms) is based not on belief in Jesus, but overall polarity or karma, is very scary to them. It seems to conflict with their beliefs because their beliefs allow them to relax and just 'trust in the Lord' whereas if they believed in reincarnation, they'd have to accept responsibility for themselves. The whole point to evangelical Christian belief is that they aren't responsible for themselves; God is responsible. Even with Catholicism, they are only partially responsible. So it's very scary to them to think that they might have to take on that responsibility.
