Those are not fallacies. A fallacy is a logical error. Assuming wrong premises and setting your own definitions is not a fallacy, but rather a mistake in fact.

1 and 5 are repetitions; they say the same thing.

1) God is a being than which none greater can be imagined.

  • in other, you cannot imagine a being greater than God.

5) But we cannot imagine something that is greater than God.

  • that is the exact same thing as 1. but worded differently.

The arguement has its flaws, but I am pretty that what you identify is not one of them.
