at the beginning of our practice we have no knowledge or little knowledge of Buddha's Teaching so it is important to have a belief of rebirth (in heaven or hell)
then we will try not to do bad but do good in order to have a good rebirth and avoid bad rebirth (we can call this is 'kammassa-katha samma dhitti' or Worldly Right View

at later stage we will be able to understand Buddha's Teaching and will be able to have Noble Right View
then our perspective will be changed and we will try not to have a re-birth or attain enlightenment

before the Noble Right View, we are conditioned to re-born (from moment to moment as well as from this life to next life)
after getting the Noble Right View one will be able to change the conditioned arising
but
how long it will take until the full-enlightenment is depend on the persons character (how much he put effort on the work to be done)
