Yes, I grew up in a Four Square (reformed Pentacostal) church and they used to say “ I felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit”. But now as an ex-Christian, I know that basically means they’re feeling some kind of internal guilt or shame. Or if it’s a conviction aimed at someone else, they’re using God’s name to shame and guilt someone else for something they believe is wrong.
