[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your definition of Christian is some who believes in a follows Christ, then yes.  It’s even in their name - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

As a former  Mormon, l can tell in you practise there is equal emphasis and time spent on the Bible and Book of Mormon in Sunday school etc [/quote]

The name was created for marketing/PR purposes, to normalize the religion.

Definition of a Christian is a member of the mainstream Christian churches, one who is able to recognize a member from another denomination as also a Christian.
Such a person can visit and attend service in any church and be seen as a fellow believer.
Mormons do not see a Lutheran or an episcopalian as a fellow believer, but as a mission field that needs to be converted.

[b]Once you add the belief that only members of your church are people who will be saved
then you are too exclusionary[/b]

This definition is new to me.  I grew up in Texas and met many, many evangelicals who did not see Catholics as Christians.  I remember in 1999 when a lot of them were told by their church that Y2K was the end times, girls I played basketball with "laying hands" on me and weeping and praying that I would accept Jesus and be saved by the blood of the lamb so I wouldn't have to burn in hell forever, as I was clearly destined to do.  So I guess Assemblies of God, Church of Christ, and Pentecostal aren't Christian either?  Or is it that Catholic isn't Christian?

I'm not convinced this question means anything in the first instance.  If you say a Mormon is not Christian, and they say they are, you don't "win."  And we know that they say they are Christian, so what's the point of trying to prove they aren't?[/quote]
