The true question is is a flame alive. I believe it is not because it doesn't develop, however, does it still have cells.

No; but a flame has regions: A central region, where the combustible materials are being mixed with air; an ignition point, where the actual combustion is taking place (the hottest part of the flame, usually blue); and a large envelope, where the products of combustion are dispersed (often yellow).

Flame is often used as an analogy for life, because it is self sustaining, as long as it is supplied with fuel and air. It can even 'replicate' by sending sparks that can fall and set light to combustible materials away from the flame. But flame is not a living thing.
