Actually, Grover you don’t need a religion to be large to join unless you’re doing it because of the social dimension. I would still be a Guardianist, even if I was the only person on Earth besides the Gaurdian of the Cause of God, the Hands of the Cause of God, the International Baha’i Council, etc.

Yes there seems to be a magnetic influence when one lives the Bahai principles in ones life that imparts its effect even without speaking. Abdul Baha was noted for this kind of effect on people.

“One thing,and only one thing, will unfailingly and alone secure the undoubted triumph of this Sacred Cause,namely:the extent to which our own inner life and private character mirror forth, in their manifold aspects, the splendor of those eternal principles proclaimed by Baha’u'llah.”
Shoghi Effendi.

You Craig and I (each individual)must determine and cling to whatever we believe to be God’s desire for us. WE need to be triumphant, God is Self-sufficient.

Dear Baquia you are correct in scholastic form but in essence They are all one, that is the point They make when they say, “He it is Who traineth all names, revealeth all attributes, conferreth life 66 upon all beings”. The Primal Point is not a title but a Name which reveals a reality that They all share.

Not to digress only to clarify. Peace be upon Them and upon all of us who through Their grace we have been created.

I don’t wish to enter into a theological debate, really. There is an establish nomenclature if you will and different Prophets have different titles. For example, one of the Bab’s is the Primal Point, Baha’u'llah’s Blessed Beauty, Christ’s the Son, Mohammad’s the Seal, etc….

If we start to apply the titles randomly to other Prophets, then it will only result in confusion. Furthermore, Baha’u'llah never referred to Himself as the Primal Point.

However, this is a minor point among the larger discussion. I don’t wish to take a fruitful dialogue on a tangent.
