Stations of the Primal Point & Baha

8.    Summary
According to:

• Baha, the Primal Point was the herald of Baha and at one and the same time Baha was the Primal Point returned again.
• Sir Abbas Effendi, The Primal Point was the herald of Baha, and at one and the same time the Primal Point was the manifestation of God. Baha was the supreme manifestation;
• Mirza Muhammad Ali, the Primal Point was the herald of Baha, who was the supreme manifestation;
• Mirza Badiullah, The Primal Point was the herald of Baha, who was the supreme manifestation and completion.
• Shoghi Effendi, as John the Baptist had been the herald of the Christ, so was the Primal Point the herald of Baha. The Primal Point and Baha were co-founders of Bahaism.

As opposed to the chaotic state of the affairs prevailing among the Root, the Branches and the offshoot as to the station of the Primal Point and Baha, the people of the Bayan, who rejected Baha's pretensions, argue that Him-Whom-God-Will-Make-Manifest could not come until the faith founded by the Primal Point had attained currency that the ordinances laid down in the Bayan had been adopted, that it was an impossible thing that one revelation would soon be abrogated by another, and that so brief a period should operate two dispensations.
