Are there other false Holy Spirits?

My Mormon friend converted one of my other friends to Mormonism, and when I realised, I became very upset because this system of beliefs is toying with his soul. He converted, saying he 'felt the Holy Spirit', when my Mormon friend said that it makes him feel 'powerful' (notice that is not 'humble' and the opposite of feeling like a slave of God with a purpose greater than one could create). I felt compelled to counsel them, although anything I say will offend them (because they can't face their doubts head-on). I understand that a lot of the Mormon popularity is a result of many believing that they will be gods.

2 Corinthians 11:4

ESV - ⁴ For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
