Isnt he the one that was taken away in a chariot of fire. He never died
In the begining was the Word. And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and tented among us. The Word Is Yeshua AKA Jesus. Christianity is based on Christ

Fire doesn't burn up human bodies? And, a human body can survive the trip to the heavens without oxygen?
I think the legend is meant to illustrate that Elijah didn't "taste" death, and that his body was transformed through a fiery baptism.
Christianity is based on the fact that John the Baptist "was" Elijah. You can't have Jesus Christ without the reincarnation of Elijah.

17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Matthew 11:14
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
You can't reincarnate someone who never died as we understand it.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.
