Default Can Baha'is worship GOD in there own individual way (BAHA'I PLEASE)?

Are Bahia's allowed to pray to GOD in there own individual ways.
Like through there own methods.

( Please state if you are Baha'i so we could get in contact and talk further )

I am not technically a Baha'i. I am a Christian who believes in Progressive revelation, but I believe we can "follow" any of the prophets we feel more comfortable with.

So, I personally follow Jesus, but I have no problem with people following Muhammed or the Bah?'u'll?h

I used to have friends who were Baha'is, and I respect the religion a lot.

While they do have certain methods of prayer, all people still worship the divine in their own ways, regardless of how our religions expect us to pray. Faith comes from the heart and is individual.

I have no religious tittle, but believe that each one of us has a path to follow. If there is a god,(I believe their is) judgment will be between God and self, no one else. No one else! Search inward for the truth and the path.

I remember a song - from YEARS ago which kinda sums it up nicely. The chorus was... "Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Abraham, Moses, Christ, Mohamed, The Bab, Baha-U-Llah - the spirit's the same."

As far as I was aware - the Baha'i Faith looked to God in his own right - with his earthly spirit being in the form of one of those mentioned in the lyrics.

Yes - I admit it - I'm a former Baha'i follower !

As a former Baha'i follower. There is no structure formal format for prayer. A simple silent communication will do.

I declared as a Bahai many years ago. For personal reasons, I am not a Bahai here administratively, but I do still practice as a Bahai personally.

I worship God via prayer, meditation, and "good deeds". There are prayers written by the Central Figures of the Baha'i Faith which I recite and meditate upon daily. When the mood strikes, I pray "conventionally" like Christians pray.

There is a quote from the Bahai writings about being in a prayerful state all the time, to achieve nearness to Him at all times.
