2.   The allegation of the Primal Point being the herald of Baha

2.2    Two Manifestations in One Cycle
God, according to the Primal Point, created all things by his Volition and this Volition by Himself. The divine will, according to the Primal Point, reveals itself but through the Will of the Manifestation of the Age, and the divine volition Manifests itself but through the Volition of the Manifestation of the Age. If God were to choose two Manifestations, the divine Unity will not thereby manifest itself in the contingent world and in between the two order in the kingdom, in the heavens, and on the earth will become futile.

Therefore there had been, and is, One Manifestation of the Volition in each cycle and the Primal Point was the 'Manifestation of the Primal Volition in the Bayanic Dispensation.' The concept of two Manifestations co-existing in One Cycle is inconsistent with, and repugnant to, the Point's theory of Theophanies.

Therefore Sir Abbas Effendi's pretension that Baha who was a 'Manifestation of God' in the Bayanic Cycle is untenable.
