So I don;t think it would be meaningless - it would be important for the leaders and members of the faith to understand I would think - that there are a significant number of people who desire to be "followers of Baha'u'llah" but want to be "liberal" in those areas too. By saying "you can't" when they want to use that label, you are forcing them to choose between their conscientious convictions - or simply keep quiet about their doubts - I don't think either of those choices are healthy spiritually or emotionally. Its OK by me for a religion to be exclusive - but not when it is pretending otherwise.
There are two thoughts here, the first is where we see all truth comes from, as a Baha'i it can be seen in this passage,
"...Know assuredly that just as thou firmly believest that the Word of God, exalted be His glory, endureth for ever, thou must, likewise, believe with undoubting faith that its meaning can never be exhausted. They who are its appointed interpreters, they whose hearts are the repositories of its secrets, are, however, the only ones who can comprehend its manifold wisdom. Whoso, while reading the Sacred Scriptures, is tempted to choose therefrom whatever may suit him with which to challenge the authority of the Representative of God among men, is, indeed, as one dead, though to outward seeming he may walk and converse with his neighbors, and share with them their food and their drink....."
Then to me this is very important about acceptance;
"..How great the multitude of truths which the garment of words can never contain! How vast the number of such verities as no expression can adequately describe, whose significance can never be unfolded, and to which not even the remotest allusions can be made! How manifold are the truths which must remain unuttered until the appointed time is come! Even as it hath been said: “Not everything that a man knoweth can be disclosed, nor can everything that he can disclose be regarded as timely, nor can every timely utterance be considered as suited to the capacity of those who hear it.”
This is the passage they were taken from;
