One member of my National Spiritual Assembly had been re-elected for many years, but then his polio suddenly started getting worse. He was worried that soon he might not be able to walk as well as he could at that time, and consequently wouldn't be able to teach as much as he wanted to. Our community's actions are a reflection of us. If our communities aren't functioning the way we'd like them to, or we don't understand our assembly's decision, well, that's what the next Feast is for. In other words, right belief is not as important as right behavior.
Right behavior is defined in terms of obedience to the Baha'i laws and institutions.
Baha'is are free to hold beliefs that might contradict Baha'i scriptures so long as they do not proclaim those beliefs as official Baha'i teaching, and so long as they are willing to investigate and consider other interpretations. The potential for the reduction of aspects of Baha'u'llah's revelation to the nature of his potty training would naturally offend Baha'is. It might not be a high priority for Baha'i scholarship at the moment, but in theory such an approach cannot be discounted a priori. These quotes effectively convey the National Spiritual Assembly's attitude towards scholarship and the diversity of ideas. The institutions are here to direct our strength and guide us through these difficult times, not to question some person's opinion about something.
