Let none, however, mistake my purpose, or misrepresent this cardinal truth which is of the essence of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. The divine origin of all the Prophets of God - including Jesus Christ and the Apostle of God, the two greatest Manifestations preceding the Revelation of the Bab - is unreservedly and unshakably upheld by each and every follower of the Baha'i religion. The fundamental unity of these Messengers of God is clearly recognized, the continuity of their Revelations is affirmed, the God-given authority and correlative character of their Books is admitted, the singleness of their aims and purposes is proclaimed, the uniqueness of their influence emphasized, the ultimate reconciliation of their teachings and followers taught and anticipated. "They all," according to Baha'u'llah's testimony, "abide in the same tabernacle, soar in the same heaven, are seated upon the same throne, utter the same speech, and proclaim the same Faith."
(111:2)
