Thank you for your excellent post. Even in the Old Testament (under the Old Covenant) the Holy Spirit was at work. When they repented and confessed their sin "Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst." Nehemiah 9:20. But when they were disobedient and rebelled against God "Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands." Nehemiah 9:30
There is only one Holy Spirit. If a person rejects the Holy Spirit, all other spirits are connected to demonic spirituality. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Ephesians 2:2. Thus, Jesus explains that although we all have a physical (flesh and water birth through our human mother) we must be born a second time / born again (through/by God's Holy Spirit) John 3:3-8, otherwise we cannot see or enter into the kingdom of God.
