good strategy. semantics.... that'll always fool any supreme being...
BPB had it right earlier. Baha'is believe in the prophetical Jesus and Muhammad, along with Buddha, Moses, and of course, Bahá'u'lláh. Each are accepted as God's messengers and the "oneness of religion" is the basic tenet.

Basically, she doesn't believe Christian teaching, but was ordained by a liberal denomination which considered it trendy to ordain women who sought the ministry, no matter what they believed.
So, yeah you can call yourself a Muslim and a Christian , but that doesn't make you either one.

$2 on the Christian-Muslim quinella in the final race.
Identifying strongly with a particular religion is a sign of ego. All the religions speak the truth to some degree (when there is real understanding), and it may be appropriate to follow one or the other, depending on your life situation and culture. However, to see fundamental disagreements between the various religions is a result of giving too much importance to the incidental, as opposed to the deeper wisdom contained in the sacred scriptures. Take up real spiritual practice and in time you will experience the Divine directly. I know what I am speaking about. It happened to me, and to many others. God is not just something you read about in a book and think about. God is a direct personal experience. When you experience a profound spiritual transformation, you will find the answers to your questions.
