Her son, John the Baptizer, was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb (Luke 1:15) way before he could even talk. Actually, when Elizabeth was about 6 months pregnant and Mary (the mother of her Lord, Luke 1:43)came to visit her, the baby (fetus) leapt for joy (Luke 1:44) in her womb. Here Jesus is an embryo and Elizabeth refers to him as "my Lord."

Sounds like another case of the prophetic anointing

IMO, only a small percentage of God's people in the OT were filled with the Holy Spirit, all who received the Spirit prophesied, and it was not a requirement for salvation.

salvation requirements changed in the OT and were generaly very specific. In Noah's day it was getting on the ark. However....under the Abrahamic covenant and Mosaic covenant...I'm not sure salvation is the issue or point of these covenants. One would sacrifice to atone for sins...but there is no mention of salvation like in the NT.

Salvation has always been by faith, believing God, whether in the case of Adam or anyone until today.

this sounds like much more than a prophetic annointing.

John 20:21-23
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained
KJV

where in the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants...is salvation by faith?

Well, Genesis 15:6 says that Avram believed God and that God counted or imputed it to him for righteousness. Paul uses that verse in his argument in Romans chapter 4 that he was justified before he was circumcised and before the law was given to Moses.

The theme of justification by faith which Paul quotes 3 times in the New Testament (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38) and that is found in Havakuk which is part of our Old Testament.

Hebrews chapter 11 speaks of many throughout the Old Testament who were people of faith. They did not receive faith because of what they did. They did what they did because they had faith.

Isn't that what Joel said would happen when the Holy Spirit was poured out?

Your sons & daughters will prophesy.... visions would be seen etc.

The fact that those in the OT who were said to have the Holy Spirit in them prophesied only speaks more to the possibility that it would be the same spirit.
