Hence, surely when these people are converted to other religions the Holy Spirit did not convert them.

Why not?  The Faith of God is eternal.  One Faith.  Many mouthpieces.

It says in the Writings that it is not the teacher who converts seekers to the Faith but the Holy Spirit. Every day people convert to religions other than the Baha'i Faith. Given that the Baha'i Faith is the religion for today, God obviously wants people to become Baha'is. Hence, surely when these people are converted to other religions the Holy Spirit did not convert them. I don't understand why, then, we are to believe that every single person who becomes a Baha'i does so because of the intervention of the Holy Spirit. It seems incredulous that no one would ever become a Baha'i without the Holy Spirit deciding to 'make' them a Baha'i. I do wonder whether what the Writings says is a generalization made to subdue the ego's of those who have lead people to the Faith.

Regards,
David
