ArchivedAnswering Aineo.Well, there are problems with this article: When it spoke of John the Baptist being the Elijah to come, it is speaking in a spiritual sense ("in the spirit and power of Elijah"). It does not mean that Elijah is John. It's like saying Christians are to have the spirit of Christ. Does not mean they are Christ. It just means we are following His ways. Jesus was not asking His desciples who He had formely been. In fact, when Peter gave the correct answer, it was an answer referring to Jesus in the present. Ofcourse one can say that Jesus was the Christ before He revealed Himself to mankind, but I'm speaking in the sense of Jesus being someone else besides the Christ in terms of reincarnation, which is something not taught in scripture. Scripture tells us that upon death "the spirit returns to God who gave it" (Ecc. 12:7), that "to be away from the body" is to be "at home with the Lord" [2 Cor. 5:8]. Indeed, the Christian's hope rests not on the reincarnation of the soul, but in the resurrection of the body (1 Cor. 15:42-55).
