| | Baha'i |
 | | The Baha'i temple in Wilmette, Illinois is a nine-sided building representing the world's nine living religions and is a combination of synagogue, mosque, and cathedral, symbolizing the unity of all religions. | | | Baha'i was started in 1844 when Mizra Ali Muhammad ("the Bab" or gate) proclaimed he was the greatest manifestation of God yet to appear. | | | Baha'i grew out of Islam, and is in fact a stepchild of the Islamic faith, albeit a despised one. |

| | Enemies Within: Conflict and Control in the Baha'i Community |
| | The Baha’i Faith was founded in the nineteenth century by the Iranian nobleman, Mirza Husayn ’Ali Baha’u’llah. | | | The Baha’i Faith views the establishment of world unity as its primary mission, and this is believed to be dependent on the Baha’i Faith’s remaining united as a single religion that completely avoids the schisms that other world religions have experienced in their history. | | | However, belief in the founder of the Baha’i Faith is held to be inseparable from faith in and obedience to a divinely-ordained administrative system. |

| | The Watchman Expositor: Baha'i |
| | The Bahai faith is often included in the "New Age" family of cults. | | | Doctrinally, the Bahai faith has incorporated both Islamic and Christian concepts, but depending on which list one reads, Jesus was merely one of many prophets or manifestations (reflections) of God for each age. | | | The Bahai's goal is to establish a new world order, ruled compassionately over by their currently existing National Spiritual Assembly. |

| | On Bahai Liberty |
| | Baha’i interrogators of conscience were quick to quibble and denounce members for their views and opinions expressed in emails to group members, ultimately denouncing, as had happened in previous incidents, individuals as "covenant breakers" or possibly holding opinions which were tending toward covenant breaking. | | | Shoghi Effendi’s own words state emphatically that without a Guardian the Baha’i Faith would be mutilated and completely deprived of the "unerring guidance of God." Subsequent to his death, Baha’i experience only corroborates his judgment. | | | On all sides Baha’i administrators see only heretics and apostates, point the finger, denounce people as breakers of Baha’u’llah’s covenant, or Abdu’l-Baha’s Will and Testament, or Shoghi Effendi’s non-existent will, which, in disobedience to Abdu’l-Baha, he never wrote. |

| | Bahai-Faith.com -- The Baha'i Faith: An Ex-Baha'i Christian View |
| | The Baha'i Faith teaches that both Jesus and Muhammad were infallibly inspired by God in all their teachings, but their teachings are contradictory on the most basic issues. | | | Baha'is argue that God has revealed one unchanging spiritual message to different peoples and cultures at different times, but the social laws change from age to age according to the needs of the time, which causes religions to appear different. | | | Furthermore, the Baha'i holy writings contain numerous examples of outright error, which undermines the Baha'i belief that the founders of their faith were infallibly guided by God and that everything they wrote is divine revelation. |
