led by the spirit

I happened to read the below verses today. They caused me to wonder why some insist that those who claim to be led by the Spirit must comply to some OT standard for prophets. It seems Paul had no such notion in mind as he pondered what to do with the unmarried and widowed He clearly sees himself as being led by the Spirit but he states it is not a command from the Lord.

1 Cor 7.25 - Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

1 Cor 7:40 - Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
