Was Jesus filled with the holy spirit?
And was he water baptized before he went into ministry?

Luke -
3-21Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Please, I want to be corrected if I am wrong, but I think this question is not one we can understand.

As Zach quoted, Jesus was baptized and filled with the spirit.  But wasn't Jesus also the Spirit?  God in 3 persons? 

Just my thoughts.

Strange question indeed: Jesus is God, so He and the Spirit are one, like He is one with the Father,... right??

This is my understanding,  Jesus Christ and God and the Holy spirit are all the same thing but again they are all different.  Think of it like our bodies.  Our bodies are made of Water, Flesh, a soul, the heart etc. They are all different but it all makes one body, so it is all one, but it is all different.  Dont take my word for it, Im just a man, but research and pray to understand.

Zach rightly answered with Luke. I think it would be helpful though for you to define what you mean by "filled with the HOLY SPIRIT". Luke mentions that the SPIRIT descended like a dove. JESUS had the SPIRIT before this time though, illustrated by how at twelve years old in Luke 2 HE was teaching Scripture, also as the others have mentioned GOD is one.

Surely done for the benefit of those present at the time and for our benefit too.  An interesting situation with the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit all being clearly manifested to the world at the same time.  One of those situations when you just wish you could have been there and seen and heard all of this happening.

Yeah I know Kevin.  Its hard to live in a world where it seems like 99% of the world are unbelievers.

That is a very good point Kevin!  Thank you for sharing that.
