The eastern ortodox church believe in Barnabas, but it is not part of their Bible. The Barnabas didn't meet the high bar of canonicity, i.e. an infallible expression of the record of the Apostles preaching.

I believe the same as them

Brother. Dont just say "Barnabas". Or dont just say "The Barnabas". Because there is nothing called "The Barnabas". I am only telling you so that you will consider this. No problem if you dont wish to admit something. No problem.

I was referring to the "Epistle of Barnabas", not the "Gospel of Barnabas" which you are referring to. The prior was in the canon.

Cheers.

I believe in Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Islam, Baha'i at the same time

How do you keep up with all that? I have one religion and it takes a lot of my time. How can you focus on that much all at once? your head must be spinning.

I was also refering to the epistle of barnabas.

Why Wasn't the Epistle of Barnabas Canonized as a Part of Holy Scripture? | OrthodoxChristianity.net

This article is wrong. It was canonised. But was of course removed later in the official athanasian canon of the latter fourth century. I am not speaking from a Christian websites point of view sis, I am speaking from manuscript evidence. If you want I can provide anytime. No worries.
I believe in what the ortodox and catholics believe about the Bible. But I have no knowledge on this subject

I can not become a Bahai. Because I do not believe everything they believe in. For example, I believe that God wants people to have different religions. So God has one covenant with Jews, another covenant with Christians, another covenant with the followers of the Baha'i faith.
God did want people to have different religions and that is why there are different religions.
God is okay with people having different religions, at least for now.

Baha'is believe that God wants all the religions to unite but that won't happen until the distant future.
Until then the Bahai goal is for all the religions to associate and learn to get along in a spirit of harmony and unity.

“That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith. This can in no wise be achieved except through the power of a skilled, an all-powerful and inspired Physician. This, verily, is the truth, and all else naught but error.”
The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 91

I do not believe Bahai is the latest religion from God. I believe only Baha'is are one of the religions of God. The followers of the Baha'i faith believe Baha'i is the latest relgion from God. I disagree with this.
What religion do you believe came after the Baha'i Faith?

Yes it is logically possible

I do not believe the different religions are all literally true in everything, if I believed this then it is not logical.

I believe there are some level of truth in the different religions.
That is what Baha'is believe, and that is why we say we believe in all the different religions.

They believe many other scriptures also and say that the teachings have been corrupted. With the Bible there are many places that they deny.
No, we do not deny anything in the Bible. We just (a) interpret some of the Bible differently than Christians and (b) we do not interpret everything literally.

All Christians do not interpret all of the Bible literally either but they are still Bible-believing Christians.

What many liberal theologians believe about Jesus' death

Not all Christians believe in the Trinity either but they are still Bible-believing Christians.

My head spins with just one religion too, which is why I don't even try to keep up on the others. ;)
I only know enough about other religions to be dangerous.

it's not hard because:

What the religions share of belief: the religions believe in one God who is the creator of the universe/universes, prophets or holy souls of God, prayers to God, some form of the ten commandments, Heaven/hell, that the most important is to serve God and loving each other

And i believe that no religion is the only truth. but that truth is found in most religions

i diagree strongly with "at least for now" part


"Until then the Bahai goal is for all the religions to associate and learn to get along in a spirit of harmony and unity" = This I agree with. God wants all religions to live in peace.
