***If I am filled with the Holy Spirit, do you think He will allow deception? I KNOW in my spirit when something doesn’t seem right or is against scripture. He is my guide and He has sent others to help us along the way.***

The problem with that is a Gnostic indwelling belief that self-reinforces belief in one’s own righteousness, usually culminating in the belief of others’ unrighteousness since there will be conflict of view.
