Yes you are right and Enoch was taken to be with God without dying and if I had brought this up it would have been dismissed as a fairy tale so what would I have accomplished by mentioning these two individuals. The reason for their translation was decided by God because of what these men were and the great faith they had. I do not see God working with individuals in the same manner and do not think the same event will occur until the return of Christ.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

-- very good point
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Because it is a fairy tale.
