In example, Elijah and John the Baptist were two incarnations of the one life of a particular human prophetic ideal. (Mt 11:13-14). John was not aware of this (Jn 1:21), but Jesus was, and we acknowledge Jesus as the more competent authority. Elijah seems to have been an incarnation by adoption, of the Holy Spirit and returned to the Holy Spirit rather than experience death.
