Dear Gilberto, We accept that definition, in fact that's why we don't consider ourselves to be Muslims. And I would agree that the Lahoris could be considered Muslims. > >> I don't think it is weird to consider Mormons non-Christians at all, >> because their beliefs very clearly depart from any standard definition >> of Christianity. > > They believe in the Bible So do we. We are not Christians. I would agree, by the way, that in terms of core beliefs at least some of the Remeyite groups are not all that different from mainstream Baha'is. The same cannot be said of the Jensenites who form more of a separate cult. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-526918-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
