Best Answer

In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit came upon a man, for a time and purpose.

Judges 6:34 "So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; and he blew a Trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called together to follow him."

Judges 14:6 "The Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, so that he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done."

In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit dwelt in believers.

How many times is the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Old Testament?

In the King James version the phrase - holy spirit - appears three times in the Old Testament... * Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. * Isa 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. * Isa 63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him? The King James version uses the phrase "Holy Ghost" in the New Testament... always capitalised, but that phrase never appears in the Old Testament. The more common Old Testament reference to the Holy Spirit is "Spirit of God," which appears fourteen times.
