Imam, prophet, messenger are all names, and titles. Regardless of these titles, what is the intention is, God inspires certain people and gives them knowledge and wisdom, and a degree of infallibility. Yes, Abdulbaha and Shoghi Effendi are two of them. I believe there were more inspired people, but as they were not central figures of the Faith, they are are not considered officially.Who are the divinely appointed imams and Prophets who came after Baha'u'llah in the (Haifa based) Baha'i faith?
My understanding is that Abdul-Baha said he is not a prophet (nabi?) And that there are twenty-four holy souls in the Baha'i dispensation, not twelve like in Shia Islam. But I believe you only have 2 if you count Abdul-Baha and Shoghi Effendi and 52 if you count the hands of the cause in addition to Abdul-Baha and Shoghi Effendi.
