Salvation is not an "either/or" situation with Baha'is. The closer we obey
and attempt (notice the word "attempt") to follow all of the Baha'i laws the
more we will grow in spirituality.

Since our essence, our soul, is spiritual then the stronger our spirit
becomes the healthier we will be in the next world. If we are spiritual
Arnold Schwarzeneggers or 90-lb weaklings we all arrive at the same place and
can continue to grow there.

Forgetting to cross a tee or dotting an i will not condemn you to less
desireable quarters in the afterlife.
