You seem to be overlooking what Paul taught about being "absent from the body but present with the Lord". So when anyone who is saved dies; yes their body is dead until the resurrection but their spirit is with God. As we know from Jesus Himself who said "into thy hands I commit my Spirit". And it says "he gave up the Ghost/Spirit".
Secondly in the case of Samuel we find that even though Samuel's body is dead. Yet somehow Saul is able to speak to Samuel's ghost/spirit.
In Matthew 17 we find that both Moses and Elijah are alive and talking to Jesus. Besides you say no man has ascended and that proves that no one is alive until the resurrection. Which cannot be the correct conclusion. Because both Enoch and Elijah were carried up in a whirlwind or were "translated" that they would not see death.
Adam did Not have life's spirit before God breathed the breath of life into lifeless Adam as per Genesis 2:7
Adam ' returned' to where he started according to Genesis 3:19 the dust of the ground.
As Matthew 17:9 is a VISION transfiguration No one in the VISION was alive but Jesus.
Paul too had a VISION. Jesus gave up his life's spirit at death.
As a foreclosed house does Not move or go anywhere but simply ' returns ' to the hands of the owner.
So, any future life's prospect thus lies in God's safe hands til Resurrection Day.
Jesus was NOT resurrected the day he died. Jesus went to the grave the day he died - Acts 2:27.
It was witchcraft Not any resurrection of Samuel.
How could Elijah ascend when Jesus teaches No man has ascended at John 3:13.
Elijah ascending in that wind storm it was like a powerful wind picking him up and moving him to another place.
That is why Elijah was still alive years later as per 2 Chronicles 21:12-15.
God took Enoch in the sense that God did Not let enemies kill off Enoch.
As in the case of Moses' body, God also disposed of Enoch's body - Hebrews 11:5; Deuteronomy 34:5-6; Jude 9.
So clearly as John 3:13 says, then Enoch was then Not taken to any heavenly residence but as Hebrews 11:3 says that they ALL '
died ' although they did Not get the fulfillment of the promise. ALL includes Enoch.
