The carnal man can and usually does perform a lot of actions that were prescribed for the spiritual man, such as prayer, fasting, alms-giving, and other "motions of religion", but the carnal man cannot be subject to God. There is somewhere he will be in rebellion against God.
The carnal man is a man whose will is directed by the flesh, by sin, by his own desires, rather than by the Spirit, by righteousness, by the will of God. Such carnal or fleshly people are often highly religious and may appear pious, but in reality they got it all wrong. Pharisees being a prime example.
