“The foundation of this Cause is pure spiritual democracy, and not theocracy” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i Scriptures, p. 449).
“Just as in the world of politics there is need for free thought, likewise in the world of religion there should be the right of unrestricted individual belief. Consider what a vast difference exists between modern democracy and the old forms of despotism. Under an autocratic government the opinions of men are not free, and development is stifled, whereas in democracy, because thought and speech are not restricted, the greatest progress is witnessed. It is likewise true in the world of religion. When freedom of conscience, liberty of thought and right of speech prevail--that is to say, when every man according to his own idealization may give expression to his beliefs--development and growth are inevitable.” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, PUP, p. 197)
The Bahá'ís Under the Provisions of the Covenant (BUPC) is True Baha’i Faith who all believed that after the death of Shoghi Effendi in 1957, the majority of Bahá'ís were deceived, into believing that the Institution of Guardianship has ended. The Guardianship, and the living person of the Guardian, preserves and upholds the foundation of “pure spiritual democracy” needed in this world as the solution to the problems of humanity in every day and age.
One of the most important provisions of the Will and Testament of Abdu’l-Baha is that the Universal House of Justice (UHJ) must have a president who is a descendant of Baha’u’llah. The BUPC is the only Baha’i group which has a Universal House of Justice with a descendant of Baha’u’llah as its president. The purpose of the descendant of King David being the president of Baha’u’llah’s Universal House of Justice is so that we can recognize the true UHJ of Baha’u’llah from fakes, frauds, and imitations.
Guardianship in BUPC
Unique to the BUPC: belief the institution of the guardianship is the continuation of the Davidic line, which Bahá'u'lláh passed onto his son, who in turn passed the lineage on to the institution of the guardianship. In His Proclamation Baha’u’llah wrote:
“The Ancient Beauty [Baha'u'llah] ruleth upon the throne of David. Thus hath my Pen spoken that which the histories of bygone ages have related.” (Proclamation of Baha'u'llah, p. 89)
The BUPC Baha’is of the World believe that Mason Remey is not the spiritual son but the LEGALLY ADOPTED SON OF 'ABDU'L-BAHA and therefore an Aghsan. This makes Mason Remey an Aghsan (branch of Baha’u’llah and ‘Abdu’l-Baha) and therefore qualifies him as the Guardian that is the president of the IBC/UHJ who has legally inherited the throne of King David.
Abdu’l-Baha made Mason Remey his legally adopted son being fully aware that the First Guardian Shoghi Effendi will not have any issue and the chain of Guardianship should continue through Mason Remey. While Shoghi Effendi is the Afnan Guardian.
The Gurdianship in BUPC runs as follows:
Mason Remey (The First Aghsan Guardian)
The Adopted and only son of ‘Abdu’l-Baha. Appointed by Shoghi Effendi in 1951, to be the first Aghsan Guardian of the Baha’i Faith as the president and executive of the first International Bahai Council (IBC). Mason Remey served as a Hand of Cause under Shoghi Effendi. Mason Remey received recognition from ‘Abdu’l-Baha as well as Shoghi Effendi for being the firmest proponent of Baha’u’llah’s Covenant. As the legal executer of the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, Shoghi Effendi identified Mason Remey as ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s “Dear Son” (therefore an Aghsan) in writing, welcomed Mason as the first President of the IBC/UHJ in 1951, and protected the transfer of David’s throne from ‘Abdu’l-Baha to his son Mason.
Joseph Pepe (The Second Aghsan Guardian)
The adopted and only son of Mason Remey. Appointed by Mason Remey to be the Second Aghsan Guardian of the Baha’i Faith. Joseph Pepe Remey was the President of the Second International Bahai Council and today his son succeeds him as the Third Aghsan Guardian of the Bahai Faith.
Neal Chase ben Joseph Aghsan (The Third Aghsan Guardian)
The third and the present Aghsan Guardian of the Baha’i Faith. Towards whom all the Bahais of the world should turn to recognize Baha’u’llah’s true Universal House of Justice. Branch; 3rd Guardian of the Baha’i Faith seated upon the throne of David. Great-grandson of Abdu’l-Baha, the adopted and only son of Joseph Pepe Remey.(http://bupc.org)
Covenant-Breakers Thwarted in Baha'i Domain Dispute
On February 24, 2005 the National Spiritual Assembly (NSA) of the Bahá'ís of the United States filed a complaint with the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization Arbitration and Mediation Center (WIPO) against Neal Chase for his use of the domain name UHJ.net, which claims to be "The Official website of the Universal House of Justice" - a name for which the NSA has a United States federal trademark registration, issued in 1965.
The May 8 ruling released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) will keep the domain UHJ.NET in the possession of the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant who are the only people in the world to have the true Universal House of Justice of Baha'u'llah with the Davidic King (Aghsan – Branch) as its president, the great grandson of 'Abdu'l-Baha as its functioning executive and living "guardian" seated upon the throne of King David that is to last for ever (see Psalms 89 for more).
Thousands of people have rejoiced at the defeat of the Age Old Enemy of the Davidic Kingship of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha and of their sons entitled in Persian 'Aghsan' which literally means 'Branch' (see Zech. 3:8 KJV for more) that has been passed down through 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, grandson and now great grandson who is the president and first servant of the Council of the Universal House of Justice in this day today. The full text of the decision is at http://bupc.org/wipo.

Covenant Breakers defeated in Court
Nov. 28: In a landmark judgement, a federal court in Chicago recently overruled a 1966 court decision that stopped the Davidic Kingship--Mason and his successors to the Executive branch of the UHJ-- from using the Baha'i name. The Chicago court judges, while criticising the 1966 ruling, said that it was a wrongful means of trying to resolve a question of religious authority. The federal 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the 1966 decision does not apply to Neal Chase and the BUPC “even though they admitted to being [the legal] successors-in-interest to Remey” (https://www.chicagoiplitigation.com/2008/05/former-officers-not-bound-by-companys-injunction/ ).
The attempts of the Haifa- based mainstream Baha'i faith to shut down the public teaching effort and close down all the websites and publications of the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant, have been thwarted with this ruling.
One of the most important outcomes of the ruling was that it has put aside all questions regarding religious organisations having any right to trademark its names or icons.
This came as a major boost to the 144,000 strong followers of the Baha'is under the Provision of Covenant world-wide. They believe that the mainstream Baha'i faith has strayed from the religion's original teachings.
"The abrogation of the original order has freed us from their "marks" and the 6-66 injunction is overthrown, null, and void. We are free to go forward with our path and plans to further advance the Baha'i faith, headed by the third guardian Neal Chase, the Covenant appointed" said Mr Sameer.
Spread of BUPC Faith
From 1980 to 1996 theAdherents were mostly concentrated in Missoula, Montana, with groups at times in Wyoming, Arkansas, Minnesota, Colorado, and Wisconsin.
From 1996 to 2005 the membership of BUPC increased world-wide and after the defeat of the covenant breakers in the domain dispute and court case and the Third Guardian Mr. Neal Chase taking a more proactive stand the BUPC Faith spread like wild fire in countries like United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Azerbaijan, India, Bangladesh etc. It looks like the mainstream covenant breakers has nothing to stop the spread of the True Faith except some false censuses to show that they are still being accepted in the International society as a Faith and not as a deviant cult.
