The question is Mormonism Christian the answer you will be given will be depend on who it is given by. Whether it be one of the Mormon faith or one of the Christian faith. There are many different ways to which the question can be phrased and that is also what the answer will depend on.
In accordance to the Mormons they are the only religion on earth that one should abide by or otherwise one will not be saved. According to the Christians the Mormon doctrine has been twisted to meet the needs of the individual leaders themselves as stemming back to the one that began this religion which is Joseph Smith.
So is the Mormon church a Christian denomination as we know it? The answer is no because it denies what the Christian doctrine is actually based on. This basis is on the most important aspects of the Bible. To begin with the mormon religion does not recognize the deity of Christ being the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost as one. The Mormonism beliefs are that they are three separate entities. Secondly if there is no such thing as salvation by grace it puts a question mark as to what was the purpose of Christ dying on the cross? Finally the third is the resurrection of Christ is not something that is believed or taught in the Mormon religion. The general consensus of the Mormon is that the holy Bible has become corrupted over the years and is not as valid as what people would believe it to be.
If one must ask a Mormon if he is a Christian and his sense of the word is that being a Mormon makes him one. Then his answer would be yes. If he were asked if those who were of another faith and claimed to be Christians, would they be so. The answer you would get back is probably not because they don't believe in the doctrines of the Christian Church. (which is the Mormons according to them).
Then the question arises is a possible for a Mormon to become a Christian? The answer to that is maybe possibly or should even be yes as anybody that comes before Christ and confesses their sin and accept him as their personal savior is a Christian. However if the individual was to remain in the Mormon church following their doctrine then no they would not be classed as what Christianity is based on in the world today
When the Christians look for a stance in their support of rejection of the Mormon church they refer to several scriptures that are very clear in the holy Bible concerning different spirits and Gospels. What makes it even more astounding is the account that the Bible gives is almost an exact description of how the Mormons came to be.
Most people are aware that the Mormon Church was founded by Joseph Smith who was to have had a vision where God and Jesus told him that he was to start a new religion. From a few simple followers it took off in a flurry and that there are now thousands of followers of the Church of latter-day Saints.
