It was about a week ago that I got together with a person I witnessed with named Monir. Monir was of the Bahai faith and we had a great conversation. After a fews days I was excited to have an email from Monir saying he was interested in getting together to continue our conversation and that he was going to bring a friend. Setting the date, my partner in crime John Gonciarz, and myself went to meet Monir and his friend at Williams Coffee shop downtown.

Well it turned out that Monir’s friend was a teacher of the Bahai faith for a number of years, named William. We had a great conversation and I was able to share the Gospel with him and water the seed that was planted in Monir, but after all our conversation there was no outward sign of repentance, but God can and does work the heart.

With regards to the Bahai faith, apparently my ‘newest member to my prayer list’ told me that they believe in the Bible and that Jesus died for our sins. Unfortunately they do not understand sin, because they believe people are naturally good and that Jesus already came back in the 1800’s as a man named Bahai U’llah.  I spent some time showing them through scripture that you can only be saved through Jesus Christ and that there is only one name under heaven in which we can be saved, that is Jesus Christ, not Bahai U’llah.  But all William would do is say take the ‘fruit’ he had to offer which is also what he thought the Bible was referring to when it talks about fruit.  What was this fruit, non other then the book that Bahai U’llah wrote.  I also stressed that by them believing in Bahai U’llah and not the Christ of the Bible they are trusting in another gospel and Paul make explicit statements on anyone bringing another gospel in Galatians 1:6-9. 

Well, after giving them some material to read, and thanking them for there time we parted ways, but I am happy to say that the are interested in getting together to discuss more. If anyone has anything they would like to say about the Bahai faith or the comparison with Christianity, please feel free to respond to this Blog and we can help clear things up.

Stay tuned for part 2…………….
