I am trying to decide exactly what you were told about our beliefs. I wonder if it might be that we believe that every human who will ever walk this planet are the literal children of God and that we were created as spirits in a pre-earth realm before the earth was created. We believe that a veil is drawn over our memories concerning that life. But we believe that we lived in the presence of God and that we were taught and prepared to come to earth and get a physical body and then enjoy an experience here. After death, we return to that God who gave us life - spiritual life and physical. Such a belief is consistent with the bible and its references to a war in heaven and the celebrations of those who were there to witness it. But as you probably know, this isn't something that most of the Christian world understands to be true. I believe some think that we are only creations of God (not literally children) and that birth was the beginning of our existence.
