Religious people are not led by the Holy Spirit, they are led by their emotions based on their desired activities. They tend to be very gullible since all they think and do is based on their feelings and emotions.
The born again believer is led by the Holy Spirit, their activities are based on what Christ in them tells them. They base their desires on the Bible and the inklings of the Holy Spirit that proves the Bible. Feelings come and go for the born again believer but they do not dictate or dominate their life.
Many people in the church are "religious" they attend church gatherings and rituals to feel safe and happy, but they do not seek the face of God through His Word and prayer. They are satisfied with "feelings" of safety and happiness even though these have no substance or basis in truth.
May the born again believer be aware of Who and what they are trusting, ignoring feelings in favor of obeying the truth.
James 1:5-8 "5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
Let those who walk by their emotions stop it and begin to walk by faith through adherence to the Bible and the inklings of the Holy Spirit. One cannot go wrong doing this with everything.
