Are mormons considered Christians?

As usual, the so eloquently named EATGIZZ and I differ.  I AM A MORMON.  Are Mormons Christian? YES!! Latter-day Saints believe in Christ as the Savior, the Redeemer, the Son of God, the Creator of the earth, and the only source of salvation. It is His love and grace that give meaning to life and hope to humanity. We believe in the Bible, which plainly teaches that Christ is our Savior and that all men must repent and come unto Christ to be saved. Some critics proclaim that Mormons are not Christians and don't believe in Christ. I really don't like other people telling me what I believe! As a Latter-day Saint, I have been taught, and have personally chosen, to accept Christ as my Savior. I am taught to follow Him, to rely on His love, and to feast on His word. I know that real Mormons are Christians. We worship Christ and covenant to follow Him. We are baptized in His name to follow Him, we partake of the sacrament (the holy communion) weekly to remember the sacrifice of His blood and to remember His victory over death, we pray to the Father in His name, and we strive to obey Him, knowing that it is only through His merits and grace that we are saved. He is constantly held up in our meetings as our Savior, our Redeemer, our Lord, and the author of our faith and our salvation. We believe that He stands at the head of His living Church, leading it as in days of old through revelation to His prophets and apostles. The Christ we worship is the living Christ, the Son of God, foretold in the Old Testament, revealed in the New Testament, and affirmed in The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Yes, Mormons are Christians.\n\nMormons practiced polygamy until 1890.  It was then abolished.  For more information about the abolishment of polygamy, go here: http://scriptures.lds.org/od/1.\n\nAs far as the Bible, we believe the Bible to believe the word of God as far as it is translated correctly.  There are some mistranslations in the Bible, and as far as the translations are true, the Bible is true in our eyes.\n\nWe do not have our "own Bible".  We do however have the Book of Mormon.  It does not replace the Bible.  To best explain it, it is another set of historical and spiritual documents that were translated into English (just like the Bible was).  For more information about exactly what the Book of Mormon is, go here: http://scriptures.lds.org/bm/intrdctn.\n\nLet me know if you have any further questions.\n\n(Modification:  All scriptures that the Mormons, aka LDS, uses can be found in their entirety here: http://scriptures.lds.org/contents.

yes it does.\n\nwhile you would not be renouncing GOd or Christ, you are renouncing the tennants of the Catholic church so.... you would be a mormon, not a Catholic.

Mormons may not like the idea of being labeled a cult, but that's what they are.\n\nOne of the primary red flags in Christianity is to ask about the Deity of Jesus Christ. \nJesus states repeatedly in the Gospels that He is God in fleshly form. He says it so emphatically that the Jews picked up stones to stone Him for such a blasphemous claim. \n\nChristian denominations all support Jesus' Deity, and they worship Him as God.\n\nMormons deny Jesus' Deity, and then also deny the accepted  doctrine of the Trinity of mainline Christian Churches. The Apostle Paul would take GREAT exception to Mormons claiming that they are Christian. \n\nOther Red Flags? \n*Exclusivity for salvation. They believe they are the only true church and the rest of us are going to hell. "Membership" in their church is required to get to heaven.\n*Exclusivity for interpreting the Bible. Without their unique explanations of the Bible, a person cannot fully understand the scriptures. Therefore, they added books to the scriptures to further explain God's plan. (additions and subtractions to or from are clearly prohibited in the Bible.) \n\nI wonder what the Angel Moroni (source of Joseph Smith's Golden Plates) would have to say to Paul?

Yes, Mormons do believe that.  But, like someone already stated, they believe that we were all brothers in sisters in the "Spirit World" (where our souls lived before getting a physical body here on earth).\n\nThey believe that there was a council in the Spirit World, where God ("Heavenly Father"), wanted to conceive a plan for humans to be able to return back to Him.\n\nAccording to Mormon belief, Satan's idea was to make everyone faithful to God and to not give free will to humans.\n\nHowever, Jesus' idea was to give humans the ability to choose with their hearts who to follow.  It basically was the concept that being worshiped by choice is much more rewarding than being worshiped by force or not having any other option.\n\nMormons believe there was a "war in heaven" between Jesus and Satan.  God chose Jesus' idea, which made Satan rebel.  While Jesus was made "Savior," Satan was thrown out of heaven.  With him went 1/3 of the spirits - those who chose to rebel, as well.

You would have to find out if they are Real Christians or Fakers.  Here is the test: Do they live as Christ commanded them to (obeying his Commandments), or are they false converts.\n\nTrue Christians: http://www.NeedGod.com \nFalse Converts: http://www.NeedGod.com\n\nPS> You will have to define Christian also. there are many religions out there that arent Christians. IE. Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Scientology, etc...

Any faith system that claims that Lucifer is Jesus' "spiritual brother", as Mormonism does, is not Christian. As far as I am concerned, to put Jesus Christ, Lord over all, on the same level as Lucifer, a fallen angel, is heresy.\n\nSo I stand by the former.

Yes. There are black Mormons. One of the most well known is Gladys Knight, of Gladys Knight and the Pips. She was baptized several and some years ago after trying out a lot of other religions. She has recently organized a choir and takes them all over the country sharing her testimony about the church and about God. \n\nI am not sure about the answer to your other question. I'm not sure they are entirely related. Remember, Mormons no longer practice polygamy.

Honestly, I have never heard of anyone thinking that Mormons don't believe in Christ.  That's news to me.  Mormons believe in Christ just as much as the next person.  I'm not Mormon, in fact, I was baptised Lutheran but ever since I was a kid (I'm 43 now), I've gone to quite a few churches.  I've gone to Lutheran churches, Catholic, Baptist, etc.  And I have to say, the best time I had was when I was in first grade through 5th grade as I went to church with my neighbors who were Mormons.  We did Sunday church, Wednesday was primary school (I can still hear the song in my head), and Monday nights I was always invited to participate in their family home evenings.  It was a great experience!

Nope.  Mormonism is a religion for dirty minded old men.\nWomen are its primary victim.

Yes, but the converse is also true.  Mormen men only gain salvation through their wives.  Its a package deal in Mormonism. Families are a very big deal in Mormon theology. According to strict mormon theology only married couples can recieve exhaltation the highest level of salvation. Many mormons will disagree since they dont know their own theology as well as they should.

The Mormon's (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) believe in God, the Eternal Father, believe in his Only Begotten son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.  They are one in purpose.  And yes, they are seperate beings.  We worship the Eternal Father, in the name of his beloved Son.

I believe you to be true in what your saying.\nYou seem to me like a christian. I find demons to be in mormons. I find them to stick together like a cult group as well. They have hard time figuring out what is real and what is correct. Have you noticed that non member is always corrected even when you join "you get corrected".\nLike that other girl said For some reason like other post of yours you seem to know alot about mormons. \nTalking to the mormon lady who spoke up  well so what if he does! Do you want convert him cause you lose people more and more everyday! Wake up silly mormon tricks are from  the \ndevil not from God. Real christians know that mormons dont live the way God says in the bible. Real christians know that mormons have to have there way. Real christians also know you dont go by a cross you go by a spare that sticks straight up. Nothing you can say can change a christ follower thats "christ", no one else shall i follow, but christ. As a christian follows a true christian knows they can not do works to get there self in to heaven. By the way there is only one heaven and one hell. Sorry that i had to be the one to tell you the true truth.

Mormons are Christians. I cannot see a problem, but then again, I am a Pagan.

Mormons are Christian.  The difference is doctrine like the many different facets of Christianity.
