The Baha'i faith was founded by Bahá'u'lláh who lived from 1817-1892. The Baha'i Faith teaches that all the major religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Baha'i) were founded by divine Messengers or Prophets and that God will continue to send others in the future, whenever it is time to give mankind a new dose of Divine Guidance.

Baha'is believe that there is no difference between any of God's messengers functions - the major difference is due to the differing needs of mankind at various times in history. Baha'u'llah is considered the return of Christ (and actually the return of every Messenger). Another way to look at it is that the Messengers of God are like Teachers in a school - none are 'better' than the other. They just teach according to the needs of the students and the needs for the world today are social teachings for the uniting of all peoples, races, nations and religions. The spiritual teachings are similar to those found in other religions (the golden rule, for example) although explained in much more depth than ever before.

Baha'u'llah was an exile and prisoner for most of His life and revealed the equivalent of over 100 volumes of spiritual teachings for mankind. See link for a more full explanation.

Because Christianity has split into thousands of sects, it is difficult to find agreement on what Christians believe in. The main commonalities for all Christian sects would be believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah (promised in the Old Testament), His sacrificing Himself for the salvation of mankind, the golden rule and other 'humanitarian' teachings such as found in the Sermon on the Mount and elsewhere in the New Testament.
