Maybe you should ask if it is possible to be a priest without being humanity filled with the Spirit.
The Christ was humanity filled with the Spirit. We call that humanity the Son of God.
That concept of the humanity being filled with the Spirit is what happens to us when we receive the Holy Ghost, thus allowing us to partake of the sonship. (
John 1)
Many within Pentecost still struggle with the idea of what the son or sonship is about. They still have the idea of God the Son versus the Son of God.
That humanity call Christ was not God. It was the vessel of God.
He established this for us to then continue in that sonship thus becoming the body of Christ.
This idea is spoken of repeatedly throughout the letters of Paul.
