I have heard that but its does not ring true when comparing it to the whole. I would be interested as to where you find that kind of idea?It didn't. The gift of holy spirit as we have it today was not available before Pentecost. Jesus Christ received it from the Father, and poured it out (Acts 2:33).
Old testament saints like that of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias they all received the end of their new born again faith from the first hearing or first love .
1 Peter1:9-12 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
They looked ahead by Christ's Spirt of faith that worked in them we by the same spirit of faith look back to the demonstration of faith
