No, nothing like that. A couple of things...
I don't believe you can belong to God and not be indwelt by the Holy Spirit, regardless of whether you are an OT or NT saint. I believe Romans 8:9 is a universal truth just more fully explained and experienced in the NT.
When I say a different manifestation, I mean the Holy Spirit has many different functions. One of His responsibilities is to convict the world of sin. This would include believers. So when we fall into sin, He will come to the believer and bring this to their attention. If this is resisted, He will bring chastisement. His purpose is to bring us to repentance and back into fellowship with the Father. He also guides our steps as we walk by faith, leads us in truth, and a host of other things.
I do not believe that once the Holy Spirit is given that He ever leaves us. I believe God loves with an everlasting love and once He sets His affections on an individual, He will love them throughout eternity.

what is a realm of the flesh ? Is there such a thing ?
A realm is
spiritual
So why can't flesh be protected by the realm of spirit without having the spirit until it receives the spirit. Isn't this baptism of fire.
First comes the father
Then comes repentance then comes the father who draws to you Jesus who draws you to batusm of fire.
Why would the flesh not be protected from start to finish

I'm not centering on anything or trying to convince you of my beliefs. I'm trying to explain a biblical truth.
I'm not sure what version of the Bible you use but if you want to characterize the truth in terms of realms ok. When we walk in the Spirit we are in a spiritual realm. When we walk according to the flesh we are in the natural realm.
Both realms take place here in this world. The difference is the guiding principles at work in us. Are we living according to and guided by God's word or according to the ways of the world.

I was understanding the mount Sinai covenant held the ten commandment that went to each new covenant from there.
But what covenant are the children of the covenant under here
Acts 2:37-39
New International Version
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
what promise covenant are the children under since they can't commit to it 😍
