I was talking with a gentleman the other day and his comment to me was that he didn't believe the Old Testament saints were regenerated the same as the New Testament saints because only in the New Testament is the Holy Spirit poured upon us and never taken away unlike in the Old Testament (Ps. 51:11). Now I don't believe this but I couldn't come up with a response. Any suggestions?

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
