They are as much about money as most other churches are. They use theirs to benefit their teachings
And as Satan filled as most are who do the same
The very same way the others are, the differences you say make little difference in how they are. They encourage tithing.
every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew 7:17 -18
They have elected assemblies which is like clergy
They hold that God Himself is impersonal and unknowable. He can only be perceived indirectly through the reflection of his Manifestations - Jesus being ONLY ONE of these NINE, in no manner superior to the other eight.
Baha'is deny that man fell through Adam from his original spiritual and moral state. They affirm that no one is "essentially" bad or evil, but merely imperfect. God's word the bible tells us different. That there is bad and evil. Sins are characteristics of the lower, baser plane of nature, and education brings deliverance from them. Baha'u'llah taught that men ought not to confess their sins to one another, for this would lead to humiliation and abasement, which he taught, are contrary to God's will.
In contrast, the Bible says...
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. [James 5:16]
Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which Christianity rests - not one of several manifestations as Baha'is insist.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. [John 14:6]
Concerning salvation, Baha'u'llah said, "Whoso keepeth the commandments of God shall attain everlasting felicity." And Abdul Baha stated that there is no sin-atoning value in Christ's sacrificial death on the cross. The basic of Christianity.
The Central conflict between Baha'u'llah's concept of salvation and the biblical revelation on the subject is best shown in where Baha'u'llah stated: "Every age has its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require." In contrast to this, the Bible teaches that the one universal problem of man throughout the ages is sin, his state of moral guilt and consequent alienation from God. Thus the one remedy - the only possible remedy for mankind's dilemma - is the death of Jesus Christ for our sins, a sacrifice sufficient to save all who turn to Him for all time as God tells us in Hebrews
I can't think of a more direct contrast to God's teachings than the Baha'i faith.
Sure they appeal to the people. People become less accountable to God than. They teach man can govern themselves
The doctrine of Divine Manifestations is the central plank of Baha'i theology. Through this doctrine Baha'is are able to take seemingly amiable positions toward members of the major world religions, for each of their founders were manifestations of God and thus each religion has a measure of truth. On the same premise Baha'is draw converts from other religions, for, they insist, the other religions were for other ages while the religion of Baha'u'llah is for today. To follow it in no way will conflict with one's native faith, for there is truly only one faith in mankind's history, best represented now by the Baha'is.
God has revealed His Word in each period of history through a chosen Individual whom Baha'is call the Manifestation of God, or Messenger of God. That is not what the bible teaches.
I don't find them any better than most of the world in fact in many ways worst. They use their money to promote these false teachings. They deny the one true God and his purpose for mankind. Making God and Jesus a liar.
To support this faith is to support Satan's ideas
