If you read the Bible you will find that Enoch and Elijah were taken to heaven without experiencing death. The Bible also tells us that a time is coming when all those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ will be taken out of this world and taken to heaven.
For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

This event will include the resurrection of believers who have died, but it will also include those who are living.
