Claim. From the Completed-Testament-Age proclamation onward, the providence operates on families as its functional unit, not on individuals; salvation is family-salvation.
Elaboration. SMM explicitly rejects the individual-salvation framing he attributes to Christianity: “This is not the age of individual salvation. Christians talk about individual salvation, but this is not right. God’s will is to save the family. Because the Fall took place in the family, restoration should take place in the family. The time for this is now!” (1.1. This is the age centering on families, not on individuals, 260-304 1994.5.19). He continues elsewhere: “We must perfect our families. Since we are at the time of the Completed Testament Age, the age of completion of the restoration of the family level Canaan, it is time for your families to settle following my words” (1.2. The Settlement of the Completed Testament Age and the beginning of the family age, 292-122 1998.3.28). The shift is providential, not merely pastoral: individuals can no longer enter the restoration account alone — they enter as family members of Blessed families.
