This may start a heated subthread, but Mormons are Christians.

Prove it.

I'll start it off:

The Nicene Creed contains what Christians hold to and believe. Do Mormons believe this?

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary
and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son],
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

I know that Mormons do not believe that Jesus is fully God and that He is a created being. That pretty much ends the discussion right there. Show me that Mormons hold that Jesus is God (begotten, not made).

While we're at it, if one is able to equate Mormonism with Christianity, one may not be aware of Christian beliefs and as a result, not a Christian.

Gut check time. Time for a "come to Jesus" moment. I'm available via FreepMail for more info.

IF you REALLY want to see what the Church beleives as its doctrines of Christ, then read what the President and the 12 apostles of the Church say in their own words. Then we can talk...
