It is really a revision of Ahmadiyya history. Since the split of 1914, the most contentious issue between the two Ahmadi jamaats is the status of HMGA (whether prophet or wali). If this issue has dogged the two jamaats for nearly a century, is it not reasonable to expect that if HMGA had announced a change in his status from non-prophet to prophet, at least some of his followers would have quit his jamaat, just like the members of the future Lahori jamaat disassociated themselves from the Qadiani section in 1914 when they could not reconcile their beliefs with those of the new Khalifa? Food for thought.
