There is no such thing as being saved in the Baha'i Faith, since there is nothing to be saved from, except our own lower nature.Yet it amazes me that with no guarantees, no assurances of being saved, every possibility that a Baha’i could end up in hell we are so overflowing with confidence, Faith, assurance and certitude.
I do not think we should ever be smug, but I think we should have faith in Baha'u'llah and what He wrote.
Given what Baha'u'llah wrote, I cannot see how any sincere Baha'i such as yourself could ever end up in hell, which is distance from God.
“Drink with healthy relish, O people of Bahá. Ye are indeed they with whom it shall be well. This is what they who have near access to God have attained. This is the flowing water ye were promised in the Qur’án, and later in the Bayán, as a recompense from your Lord, the God of Mercy. Blessed are they that quaff it.” Gleanings, p. 46
“Blessed art thou, O My name, inasmuch as thou hast entered Mine Ark, and art speeding, through the power of My sovereign and most exalted might, on the ocean of grandeur, and art numbered with My favored ones whose names the Finger of God hath inscribed. Thou hast quaffed the cup which is life indeed from the hands of this Youth, around Whom revolve the Manifestations of the All-Glorious, and the brightness of Whose presence they Who are the Day Springs of Mercy extol in the day time and in the night season.” Gleanings, p. 302
