Summary This official doctrinal statement holds that Enoch did not bypass death by bodily ascension. It argues that metatithemi means a change of state or place, that Hebrews 11:13 ('these all died in faith') includes Enoch, and that John 3:13 and Colossians 1:18 reserve heavenly ascension and the firstborn-from-the-dead status to the Messiah. Enoch is presented as a model of faithful walking in a corrupt generation.
