At the time of the manifestation of Him Whom God shall make
manifest everyone should be well trained in the teachings of the Bayán, so that
none of the followers may outwardly cling to the Bayán and thus forfeit their
allegiance unto Him. If anyone does so, the verdict of ‘disbeliever in God’
shall be passed upon him.

‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
