Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." Acts 18:5-6

Paul had preached to them had he not? A man full of The Holy Spirit was he not? Those Paul spoke of in the passage you posted had heard The Gospel preached to them and rejected it.
Here is the context of the passages you posted. Paul was preaching to them in the synagogue. OK so how many Priest, Pastors, Preachers, etc are going into synagogues preaching The Gospel these days?
1Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.£ 2There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had been expelled from Italy as a result of Claudius Caesar’s order to deport all Jews from Rome. 3Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers£ just as he was. 4Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the Jews and Greeks alike. 5And after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul spent his full time preaching and testifying to the Jews, telling them, “The Messiah you are looking for is Jesus.” 6But when the Jews opposed him and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his robe and said, “Your blood be upon your own heads—I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
They heard they rejected or rather some did but not all rejected his message.
7After that he stayed with Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God and lived next door to the synagogue. 8Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and all his household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also became believers and were baptized. 9One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent! 10For I am with you, and no one will harm you because many people here in this city belong to me.” 11So Paul stayed there for the next year and a half, teaching the word of God.
Many obeservant Jews both then and today believe it or not have not heard The Gospel. Now that being the case would they still not be under the Covenant of Israel until such a time they have heard The Gospel and actually rejected it? When will The Gospel be preached to them? Any idea? :>}
