It is the role of the Holy Spirit to convict, John 16:8-11. A pastor or religious leader who heaps guilt upon the heads of others is a wolf in shepherd’s clothing.

It is realization that one’s sin is a sin against God (Ps 51:4).

Worldly sorrow is “repentance” of wrongdoing from man-induced artificial guilt usually over matters of church tradition and/or practice: you must write testimony, attend weekly meetings without fail, absolutely obey your director without question, etc,

There were recent comments by liveforchrist who was “caught” for dating in a UBF chapter that does not allow dating—unless known and approved by the chapter director beforehand. Such “sin of dating without the chapter director’s knowledge and approval” is clearly man induced guilt, and not Holy Spirit conviction of sin.
