5. Locked-In Negative Volition toward Doctrine: Doctrinal intake is shut down due to apathy leading to wrong priorities that favor the details of life; antagonism and personality conflicts with member of the congregation; failure to use GAP; unresponsive to doctrine; disorientation to logistical grace; malfunction of faith-rest.

6. Blackout of the Soul: A vacuum in the soul that causes human viewpoint, human good, and evil to be sucking into the soul which corrupts the thought process with doctrines of demons. Total disorientation due to the influence of evil.

7. Scar Tissue of the Soul: The buildup of false doctrines in the soul which shuts down any recall of doctrine. The rate of forgetting exceeds the rate of recall. Vocabulary is diminished, norms and standards degenerate, momentum halts; and wisdom is lost; all spiritual functions shut down.

8. Reverse Process Reversionism: The total influence of evil and divorcement from reality. What was previously considered right is now considered to be wrong and vice versa. It is the status quo of unrestrained and perpetual sinfulness, fragmentation, and excessive cosmic involvement. The believer is brainwashed by satanic propaganda.

But you did not learnChrist in this way. (Eph. 4:17-20, NASB)
