That is just one verse. It seems to contrast Jesus, the unique Son of God, with all the other sons/children of God by saying Jesus did not have just a measure of the Holy Spirit but the others (all the rest of us) do.
It is my understanding that the Holy Spirit comes into a person's life at salvation/regeneration. This is an experience spoken of as a second birth, a birth from above, or being born of the Spirit as contrasted with a first birth, a birth from a human parent, or being born of "water." A person who does not have the indwelling Spirit of God (or Jesus living in one's heart) would be someone who has not yet been saved or born again.
