Yesterday I joined a women's Community Bible Study. The ladies are going through the books of 1st and 2nd Kings and the minor prophets of that era.

The lady who taught the lesson explained that there are several times in the OT when the author explains a person's behavior and neither approves of it nor condemns it. (No problem with that) She went on the explain that the Kings did things that were wrong partly due to the fact that they were not indwelt with the Holy Spirit.

So here are my questions: Were Old Testament saints indwelt with the Holy Spirit? I think they were. I don't think they were saved any differently than we are saved today, except we have more revelation and the blessing of being able to look back at history's most significant moments.

And secondly, I am new to this Bible study, basically unknown to the group, and more than likely one of the few Calvinists in the bunch. I am inclined to think that this issue is not worth approaching the teacher about. Would you agree?
