Conscience, Holy Spirit, and Believers

"Young Christians who follow the Lord wholeheartedly obey Him at many points, for their conscience is sensitive and easily moved by the Holy Spirit."

"Old believers, on the other hand, have so much knowledge that they tend to overlap their mind so as to numb the sensitivity of the conscience. They are tempted to do things according to the knowledge of their mind and seemingly render themselves immovable by the Holy Spirit."
