"I have no problems there either, but salvation is not just based in loving your neighbors, that is a fruit of having faith in Christ" So how much faith in Christ is there in Australia currently? I am lucky enough to observe the community building activities of Baha'is in around a hundred neighbourhoods in WA, SA and NT. There are some neighbourhoods where the Church is connected to the wider community, but the majority of neighbourhoods, the church does not even know where the suffering is. Which households need our support? How are we reaching out to the people locally and responding to their spiritual, social and material sufferings? Is that loving thy neighbour? And by default, is that faith in Christ? The Baha'i community is not the enemy of the Church. It is its biggest ally. In our neighbourhood, it is the Baha'is that have reached out to the Christians, and have held their hand and walked them to the households where they can express their faith in Christ and enable them to have an incredibly fulfilling relationship with their Lord, and witness His confirmations before their very eyes. You seem to show Baha'u'llah as the enemy of Christ. The reality says differently. I want you to know that I am only a passing part of this community building process in our neighbourhood. So I am not bragging about anything regarding myself, but I am aware that the work is very much aligned with true religion and true Christianity as attested to by the Catholics in our neighbourhood themselves. And no one in our neighbourhood sees this process as the Baha'is being "busy bodies" The process of salvation is for everybody, not just the select few and it is the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and the Holy Spirit that gives us the truth about how to bring salvation to every soul. Christ's work is not finished Kam

Christ's work is not finished John 19: 28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished .” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. That is the reason that Baha'u'llah and the Holy Spirit can say, "the process of salvation is for everybody, not just the select few."
