Yes, I think that would be true by definition. >>My take is that one idea cannot develop in a different school of thought >>leading to schisms, just like in previous religions.<< Not leading to schisms, no. However, I think that there clearly *are* different schools of thought among Baha'is, even if they are not always acknowledged. >>I believe that each Bahai has their own version of the Bahai faith.<< Yes, or at least different groups of Baha'is have socially constructed their own "Baha'i faiths" or Baha'i paradigms.
