So God reveals himself through divine messengers, right? Including Mohammad? So does that mean Bahai's approve of marrying children, as did Mohammad?
The baha'i faith was founded by an individual called Baha'u'llah, and is the latest in a long line of individuals that God has sent throughout history to teach humanity the right spiritual path. Those individuals include, Jesus Christ, Moses, the Buddha, Prophet Muhammad and the Bab, all are divine Messengers / Teachers from God and Baha'u'llah is the latest of these divine Messengers / Teachers. The word Baha'u'llah means the glory of God.
Just like those who follow Jesus Christ are called christians and those who follow Prophet Muhammad are called muslims, we who follow Baha'u'llah are called baha'is.
We believe in the concept of progressive revelation, meaning that in each age around about 1000 years and in different places God manifest an individual to be a divine Messenger / Teacher to guide humanity to the right spiritual path.
Baha'i faith has no heaven or hell, this is already a huge theoretical problem. And if you believe Muhammad is a prophet, you should also believe everything he claimed is true - and being the last prophet is one of these things. If Muhammad is the last prophet then your progressive concept goes out of the window.
Pick one : Baha'u'llah is the last prophet / Muhammad is the last prophet.
