Regarding anointing, God had Samuel anoint Saul of Kish, a man without saving faith, to be King over Israel (1 Sam. 9:16, 10:1). There was no report there in the Scripture of the Holy Spirit being anywhere near Saul.

It happened later that the Holy Spirit did come upon Saul (didn't enter him), but later left him in his error.

Actually, it is right there in very clear and strong language.

Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance? When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son? Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

So why appear to have been disagreeing with imardmd1 having said;

It happened later that the Holy Spirit did come upon Saul (didn't enter him), but later left him in his error.

Samuel did anoint Saul, yet still, the Spirit did not necessarily come upon Saul at that moment of anointing, but only later, Samuel prophesying that it would be when Saul met

a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

Can you see it?

Although anointing with oil be associated with having the Holy Spirit at some time and place visit upon a person, it is by no means a sure methodology that such visiting upon --if occur at all--- would be an abiding indwelling.
