How Do You Know If You Are Brainwashed

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him. (Proverbs 18:17 BSB, CSB)

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV)

I accused somebody of being brainwashed. Then the somebody accused me back of being brainwashed. I decided to google for this subject and found the following link:

1. Are you being brainwashed? 10 warning signs of indoctrination (IdeaPod)
2. How to Recognize and Avoid Brainwashing: 13 Steps with Pictures (WikiHow)
3. Ten Unmistakable Signs You're Brainwashed (Forbes)

After a brief glance at the information given, maybe that somebody was not brainwashed, but have beliefs that I could not agree with. Then I wonder if wrong beliefs and being brainwashed are the same. Maybe they are not. Maybe they are. I am not sure. But just like religions, many people just belief their own religions. Did they go through a process to check what they believe is true?

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV)

Attitude: Does it glorify God?

Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. (Acts 17:11 BSB)

Perspective: Does it contradict the Bible?

For the moment, that is all I can think of.
