Claim. indemnity exists exclusively to separate the believer from Satan so that the original portion of responsibility can be freely fulfilled — there is no path to the Kingdom that bypasses this separation.
Elaboration. SMM hammers the necessity-claim repeatedly: “The reason we should separate from Satan is in order to make free the realm of the portion of responsibility. Did Satan interfere with the life of Adam and Eve before the Fall? You cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven if Satan has interfered with your life” (5.1. I am standing at a divide, 148-199, 1986.10.9). The two-stage logic is explicit: “Without separation from Satan, there is no fulfillment of your portion of responsibility. And without fulfilling your portion of responsibility, there is no way you can enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (ibid, 148-156, 1986.10.8). The dispositional test of separation is given counterintuitively: “the side that dislikes indemnity is Satan’s side, and the side that likes indemnity is God’s side” (ibid, 116-127, 1981.12.27). And the individualism-critique: “if you are basing your life on individualism, you are the princes of Satan” (ibid, 148-161, 1986.10.8). Indemnity is therefore not an option for the rigorous; it is the only path off the satanic realm.
