Also, in the Old Testament, the work of the Spirit seems to be limited to certain people, places, and conditions whereas in the New Testament the work of the Holy Spirit is available to anyone at any time and in any place.
The New Testament is the day, age (or dispensation) of the Holy Spirit.

In part I would agree... There is a difference though in the relationship to the Spirit than before. The Spirit was not on the hearts of man like now. Otherwise
Jer 31:31-33 is contradictory.
