You said in your previous post " Baha'is are not waiting for Jesus because we believe that Baha'u'llah was the return of the Christ Spirit" Now you are saying he was not manifestation of Jesus. So Bahaullah is not a manifestation of Jesus, just of the Christ Spirit? But the Bab is totally the Mahdi? Or is he manifestation of the Mahdi Spirit?
Sorry for the confusion.
I think it would help to keep these two things separate.
1. Baha'is are not waiting for Jesus because we believe that Baha'u'llah was the return of the Christ Spirit. What Jesus promised was to send His Spirit. The Christ Spirit is the Holy Spirit because it is the Spirit of God. Jesus never promised to return in the same physical body He had when He lived 2000 years ago. That means that the same man Jesus is not going to return.
2. Baha'u'llah was not a Manifestation of Jesus; He was a Manifestation of God. Jesus does not
have a Manifestation because Jesus
is a Manifestation (of God).
A Manifestation of God is a Messenger of God. Below is an apt description of a Manifestation of God.
“Unto this subtle, this mysterious and ethereal Being He hath assigned a twofold nature; the physical, pertaining to the world of matter, and the spiritual, which is born of the substance of God Himself. He hath, moreover, conferred upon Him a double station. The first station, which is related to His innermost reality, representeth Him as One Whose voice is the voice of God Himself. To this testifieth the tradition: “Manifold and mysterious is My relationship with God. I am He, Himself, and He is I, Myself, except that I am that I am, and He is that He is.” …. The second station is the human station, exemplified by the following verses: “I am but a man like you.” “Say, praise be to my Lord! Am I more than a man, an apostle?” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 66-67
The Bab is the Mahdi, not a Manifestation of the Mahdi Spirit. The Mahdi does not
have a Manifestation because the Mahdi (the Bab)
is a Manifestation of God.
So Jesus, the Bab, and Baha’u’llah were all Manifestations of God. They manifested God and brought the Holy Spirit to humanity.
Mahdī, (Arabic: “guided one”) in Islamic eschatology, a messianic deliverer who will fill earth with justice and equity, restore true religion, and usher in a short golden age lasting seven, eight, or nine years before the end of the world. The Qurʾān does not mention him.

The description above is an accurate description of the Mahdi, with one exception. The Bab was a messianic deliverer filled the earth with justice and equity, restored true religion, and ushered in a short golden age lasting nine years,
but that age continued with the coming of Baha’u’llah, it did not end. It says end of the world but what it should say is end of an age, because the world was not supposed to end, only the previous age was supposed to end, when the new age was ushered in by the Bab in 1844 AD.
