No contradiction in the Scriptures, brother...
Peter said that the Spirit of Christ was in THEM...the prophets. The Spirit of Christ is the Holy Ghost.
But, your scripture that you are using to offset the words of Peter seems to be misunderstood.
The Holy Ghost was NOT yet given, except in a few cases as you already noted. However, it had been 400 years since there was a prophet in the land. So, the Word is true...there was no Holy Ghost yet. It was not yet given. 400 years...imagine THAT! 400 years. That would be like us looking back here in America to the days right BEFORE the Pilgrims came to America. If we had not heard from God since BEFORE the Pilgrims here in America, we would ALSO say that the Holy Ghost is NOT yet given to us. But, our perspective sometimes skew the meaning of the Word...in my opinion.
But, we know that the Prophets had the Holy Ghost. The scriptures do not lie.
400 years. That's a awful long time.
