<> So for example, I realize and appreciate (really I do) that from your perspective the issue of who is or isn't Bahai is rather clear. But there are also other people claiming to be Bahai who don't necessarily
meet your criteria. So implicitly or explicitly, you are choosing for them (over their objections) that they are not Bahai. <>
Well, not exactly...
"Do not distress or deny anyone by saying 'He is not a Bahá'í!' He will be known by his deeds. There are no secrets among Bahá'ís; a Bahá'í does not hide anything." (Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 98)
This is the botom line.
lovingly, Sandra
