Also here is what you don't understand.
Prior to anyone receiving the Holy Spirit of God permanently, the first thing on God the Father's agenda, was to send God the Son to be made flesh, THEN to shed His holy blood, for the forgiveness and REMOVAL of sin.
God the Father is Holy, therefore He could not dwell/live in anyone permanently, until God the Son died the death of His Sacrifice for us, as well is His Father!
Why? God the Father cannot live/dwell within anyone who is NOT made Holy!
However, by faith in the shed Blood of Christ, we are now made acceptable to God the Father, whereby HE CAN NOW live within anyone who has faith in Jesus, and His finished work!
As is the promise under His NEW Covenant: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."
That was never the state of reality for those who lived under the OC.
But, for those who then were of faith, but died years ago prior to Jesus' first appearance, they did receive the Promise of God's Holy Spirit (white robes), in the days of Pentecost, which is shown in Revelation 6:9-11.
Prior to the death of Jesus, and faith in Him, no man could receive the Gift of Eternal life.
Pure immaculate Roman Catholic heresy, no good for any Protestant. I have much better words in my natural tongue for your BLUFF.
