Bible Note: This is a very good question. Many people don't understand the differnce between the Old and the New Testament. Salvation was given in the New Teatament only. I will go into detail about the Old and New Testament later. Now lets examine I Sam. together. Read Heb. 9:28 ( So Christ was ONCE offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation). Read Heb 10:1-7 ( For the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things, can Never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers therunto PERFECT. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged should have had NO MORE CONSCIENCE OF SINS. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith Sacrifice and Offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for Sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do thy will, O God). Now I ask you can a person be in sin and have the Holy Ghost at the same time? Paul says in Rom 6:1,2, "What shall we say then, can we CONTINUE IN SIN that grace may abound. GOD FORBID. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein". Once a person has recieve the Holy Spirit then they no longer continually live in sin. Neither do they offer burnt sacrifices for their sin because Christ was the real sacrice. Now in I Sam. 13:9 it states,"and Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me,and peace offerings, And he offered the burnt offering". Why would Saul need to sacrifice offering if he had the Holy Ghost? Could he have had the Holy Ghost and still lived in sin? The Apostle Paul says that God forbids it. Other words God said NO. Burnt offering and dead sacrifices are for sin. Saul was not baptized of the Spirit because he was not dead to sin. Read Rom 6:3-7. Would a person dead to sin offer dead sacrices? Let go to see what Jesus says about this. Pay clos attention to the correlation of these two. St John 3:5 (Jesus answered, Truely, truely, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God). John 3:6 ( That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of Spirit is spirit). John 3:7 (Marvel not that I said to you, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN). Now the question is what is the Kingdom of God. According to Luke 17:20,21, the Kingdom of God is within you. This is the Holy Spirit. Being born of the spirit means simple to be born again. Being born again means that a change has happened. After repenting and prayer of God to save us, the Holy Spirit take the evil inside of a person and burns them up, this how the Holy Ghost cleans us with fire. Christ then crucifies our old spirit and creates a new spirit. This new spirit is of love and will not sin against God Read I John 3:9. After this the Holy Spirit dwell within us with our new spirit and gives us strenght as we learn. With man this is impossible but with God all thing are possible. This process happens in the twinkling of eye because God does not do things in parts or incomplete. The Holy Spirit does not dwell in unclean temples or people. Now Saul had not reveive the gift of the Holy Spirit but rather the Spirit overcame him temperarily because he had not been born again. Every Old Testament scipture was inspired by God. Just as the Holy Spirit overcame Saul, He overcame the writters in the Old Testament. Look at the patriach King David, how could he have the Holy Ghost but yet have many wives and even killed a man and took his wife. Would not the Holy Ghost had told him other wise. Surely he was sorrowful afterwards but he still kept many wives. Can a man receive the Holy Ghost by any other baptism than Jesus. Unto what baptism was Saul in I Sam. baptized. If Jesus had not yet come could he been baptized unto Christ. John the baptist said unto the Pharisees the he baptized with water only, but Jesus would baptize with fire. This is the fire from the Holy Ghost Read St John 1:33. When Christ comes back for the Church and cries out with the trump of the Angel, the Holy Spirit is the one who is going to hear the voice of the Lord and He is the one who going wake us up.
