Yes, I understand that this is what Bahais are trying to say. That Christians have a concept of finality, but were wrong because Muhammad came afterwards. So the point is to try to say that the Muslim concept of finality is the same, and equally wrong, so it would make it more plausible that Bahaullah could come. And the point I'm making is that even from a Christian perspective, they aren't claiming finality for themselves in the same way that Muslims are. That in concrete ways they are actually open to future revelation and future prophets and future messages. Have you looked at the history of early Islam? The Christians and Jews in Arabia were said to be expecting another prophet to come.
