Feeling distinct from emotions?

Emotion takes place in different response of external or internal stimulation. Emotion is public but feelings is private. We can express our emotion but not feelings. Without emotional process feelings cannot came. After an emotional response brain can made a map for longer but emotions has to active in  every new situation. He couldn't convinced me that feelings comes first because it's not possible. I think feelings is a active process because when emotional mechanism started then brain created a body map according to body states followed by brain machinery of body regulation became active and feelings takes place in a active process.
