I'm not sure which version you are quoting.
Most Christians take that as meaning "he came in the spirit of Elias".... but then HE wouldn't BE Elias would he?

Ask a politician, anything is deniable. I don't believe in reincarnation. At one time I did believe it and that was for many years. A run in with a demon caused me to re-think everything I believed and everything I questioned.
As for reincarnation, I can so easily see how the devil could use this as a ploy. You think he doesn't remember people that have gone before you? If you open you mind wide enough, he can walk right in and you find yourself believing his bs and eating it like candy without even suspecting that your thoughts were influenced at all.
If my 2 cents offended your sacred cow, just blow it off. It would be a dull world if we were all on the same page.
Acording to the article you linked to, Origen is referred to:
Reincarnation as taught by early Christian's.
I have had experiences which I do share on this forum from time to time, and it is maybe similar to what I think you are describing.
. . . once had an experience I will not share except to say that what I experienced was the death of my soul and the survival of something beyond that call it pure consciouseness and being found by something stronger than what had ?

Not much of a victory if your children are still starving and suffering 2,000 years later, but to each his own I guess.
