To: The Theophilus
No Holy Spirit, impossible to be saved. 1 Corinthians 2:14 says the Bible is unintelligible unless the Spirit is present to guide. IOW, without the active work of the Holy Spirit, the Bible is a closed book to the unregenerate - past, present and future.

Was it possible for anyone in the book of Matthew to get saved without the Holy Spirit???

No. In fact it is not possible for anyone, OT or NT, to be saved apart from the operation of the Holy Spirit.
