From Dai-Nichiren (Special Edition), "On the Soka Gakkai Problem
(III), section 1, p. 10:

The reason that the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood had allowed the Soka
Gakkai to exist as a lay organisation of that sect up until 1991 was
based on the Soka Gakkai's promise to the Priesthood to honour the
following three basic rules, which were set forth as conditions when
the Soka Gakkai made its request to establish itself as a religious
corporation:

1. All newly shakubukued people will become members of a local temple.

2. All members will adhere to the religious doctrines of Nichiren
Shoshu.

3. All members will revere the Three Treasures of True Buddhism.

Since SGI has violated all three rules, it no longer qualifies as a
lay organisation of Nichiren Shoshu. (Obviously)

"Even if doctrines other than those of Nichiren Shoshu were to spread
throughout the entire world, it could not be called Kosen-rufu." (The
Complete Writings of Nittatsu Shonin, Vol. 2, p. 295)
