Warning of Judgment: This believer is warned of judgment to come and this is the Justice of God adjusting to the reversionistic believer.

Maladjustment to the Justice of God: No reversionist ever makes Adjustment to the Justice of God so the Justice of God must make adjustment to him. In that adjustment to the reversionist there is always warning and NO ONE is ever judged in reversionism without warning first. Rev 2: “Behold I stand at the door and knock” is a warning to the reversionist.

Fear & Worry: This believer is filled with fear and worry because he is on the wrong side of history.

Perpetual Carnality: The reversionistic believer has no resistance to temptation therefore is constantly involved in sin.

Becoming a Reversionist

Indifference to Bible Doctrine today means not having the needed resources for testing tomorrow and if you fail the test it no longer is apathy or indifference to Bible Doctrine but becomes total rejection of Bible Doctrine. Apathy builds up toward Bible Doctrine and is tested and failing testing from God means rejection of the needed Bible Doctrine and thereby entrance into reversionism. In moving toward reversionism the first step is neglect or rejection of some principle of Bible Doctrine. It may involve being upset, full of self pity, disturbed, having subjective ideas, not being able to accept authority, not being interested in a particular subject, or disenchantment, whatever it is that irritates or bothers one at the time. To neglect today means rejection tomorrow and the difference is the insertion of testing. These believers fail the ordinary pressures and tests of life and are not ready for the greater tests of life. To neglect Bible Doctrine in time of prosperity means to reject doctrine in time of adversity and therefore to suffer in disaster. Some of the reasons for believers neglecting or rejecting Bible Doctrine include:

Disenchantment with the Pastor Teacher or people in the congregation or both

in the Local Church.

Rejection of the authority of the Pastor Teacher.

Self pity which wants to sulk of go somewhere and be entertained.

Boredom.

No apparent results from studying Bible Doctrine.

Discouragement with life in general.

Inability to cope with loneliness.

Hypersensitivity.

Lack of objectivity.

Reaction to Adversity.

Mental Attitude Sins.

Mutual Admiration Society formation of Arrogant and Inadequate.

Self Righteousness.

Flattery from others.

Self Vindication

Verbal Sins

Maladjusted scale of values and norms and standards.

In a Mutual Admiration Society the strong reversionist attacks the weak with flattery and makes him a slave. The weak person always attacks the strong when his weakness is cornered. The weak in attacking the strong always appeals to the strength of the strong. Beware when weak persons attack the strong. When a strong person attacks the weak person he appeals to their weaknesses and the weak person is vulnerable to flattery. When the weak are using the strong they must be clever and must exploit the strength of the strong not their weaknesses.

Life is supposed to be simple. All we must do is believe what God says to us through Bible Doctrine and not what others say. In reversionism Human Viewpoint prevails and Bible Doctrine is blotted out under the Black Out of the Soul, Scar Tissue of the Soul and Reverse Process Reversionism. When you neglect Bible Doctrine and ultimately reject Bible Doctrine resulting in involvement in reversionism, you are saying you don’t need Doctrine and thereby you are planning the destruction of your own life. Neglect of Bible Doctrine means loss of Bible Doctrine. Loss of Bible Doctrine means you have nothing by which God can lead, guide and direct you into his will. Planning your own life will always result in your doing a very bad job of it. Bible Doctrine learned today is tomorrow’s solution for every problem but there are no solutions to tomorrow’s problems unless you take in Bible Doctrine today. Every day we engage in Perception, Cognition, Inculcation & Metabolization of Bible Doctrine and retain that Bible Doctrine, and do this consistently, causes all of it to blend together in order that it will be available when we have to use some or all of it. To trust God with your whole life in salvation but to not trust him with one circumstance is irrational and totally inconsistent but this is characteristic of the believer in reversionism. We as believers are absolutely NOTHING without Bible Doctrine.

For the reversionist, the believer influenced by and saturated with evil, God does not work all things together for Good. These believers are not under Temporal Adjustment to the Justice of God and therefore the Justice of God must make adjustment to them and this brings to the reversionistic evil believer the BAD things of divine discipline.

Trying to explain reversionism from the viewpoint of reversionism is not possible. There is no sin which an unbeliever can commit that a believer cannot commit especially when in reversionism. People in reversionism not only neglect Bible Doctrine but also follow the leading of the Old Sin Nature to their own destruction. All reversionists move under the direction of their Old Sin Nature and therefore are in a state of perpetual carnality. This along with persistent neglect or rejection of Bible Doctrine is what leads to reversionism. All reversionists are trespassers and never get away from trespassing and being out of line in the Spiritual Life until they get out of reversionism. The reversionist assumes that human volition takes precedence over divine will and the divine decree. The reversionist does not comprehend nor perceive the Sovereignty of God nor any other part of the Essence of God nor does he understand the Divine Decree. Therefore the reversionist in essence assumes the prerogative of God and walks were angels even fear to tread.

There are three basic reasons why believers become reversionists under the influence of evil. They start by putting loved ones or some THING they love before the Lord and therefore fail to separate from loved ones or things which distract them from Perception, Cognition, Inculcation & Metabolization of Bible Doctrine. They form attachments and have social life with people who have very pleasing personalities who attract them because of flattery or because they are sweet and nice and they are unable to see that behind these personalities their only purpose is to use others. This type of attachment to others is the sign of weakness and if a person is this weak they are in a great deal of trouble. Bible Doctrine is their only hope and is what gives strength of character to avoid such entanglements. A person will never get over being weak until they build the Edification Complex of the Soul with Metabolized Bible Doctrine saturating it. Lastly they have some form of Authority Disorientation. Many males are females in their souls and cowards and
