[.. John the Baptist was not the same, whole identity as Elijah, re-incarnated (John 1:21) as we shall be in our resurrection bodies. He was John the Baptist. Nevertheless, he was also Elijah. ..]

Interesting concept eh!.. John the baptist being Elijah..

Would be an easy task IF "the body" was just transportation for the spirit..
i.e. Elijahs spirit was John the Baptists spirit.. different bodies..
Would also explain much of what Jesus was TALKING ABOUT most of time..

Indeed. As Christ said:

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63
