[45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

It doesn’t seem to me that we have any scripture for Adam receiving the Holy Ghost.

It is a good point. What I am seeing here is that the first/natural man/Adam has a soul. The last/spiritual man/Adam was made a quickening spirit.

And in that order we are born/natural, then born again/spiritual.
