I wasn't addressing the indwelling of the Spirit. I was addressing that you said that Peter and others did not even Know there was a Holy Spirit.In the OT up until the upper room experience the Holy Spirit had not yet been revealed to Israel, but was only upon certain ones like David and many others for a time and purpose from God, but not yet indwelled in them. Just as Peter Gods Holy Spirit revealed to Peter who Jesus was as only being upon him at the moment, but not yet indwelled in Peter. Big difference between upon and indwelled.
Genesis 1:1,2; Exodus 31:3; Numbers 11:25; 24:2; Judges 3:10; 14:6,19; 1Samuel 16:13
All the Jews who were practicing Jews would have known there was a Holy Spirit. God's ruach. A practicing Jew today can tell you there is a Holy Spirit and show you the evidence in the scriptures.for_his_glory said: ↑
The Holy Spirit did not reveal this to Peter, it was God as Peter nor the others even knew there was a Holy Spirit as of yet.
