Some argue that Elijah died and was not really taken into heaven because John 3:13 says that “no man hath ascended to heaven”.
John 3:13 (KJV)
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.
To further their argument they say Elijah was still on Earth and not in heaven because he wrote a letter to Jehoram.
2 Chronicles 21:12 (KJV) 12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah.

The hebrew word for heaven in And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 2 Kings 2:1 is sky. Jesus ascended but Enoch and Elijah were taken. Very important difference,
