I a Lutheran wants to join the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints.... they are BAPTISED.. so from that do we then say that Lutherans aren’t Christians???

Again, that was confused, rewrite it so that I can understand it.

I don't know what your point is, Mormonism is not a Christian religion and that is why it is not accepted as such by Christians, Lutherans are accepted as Christians and their Baptism is accepted as Baptism into the Christian faith.

Mormonism is it's own, unique, non Christian religion, created by a man named Joseph Smith in the pre Civil War era.

LUTHERAN baptism is NOT accepted by Baptists. That does NOT mean that Lutherans are not Christians. In the same order. LDS baptism is NOT accepted by Lutherans that does NOT mean that Mormons are NOT Christians.

Saying Mormonism is not Christian and it was created by Joseph Smith is like saying that Lutheranism is not Christian as was created by Martin Luther...

WHAT DEFINES a Christian?????
ACCEPTANCE of JESUS CHRIST as your savior.....

Mormons just like other christian demoninations accept christ as their savior.

whether all the denominations agree on everything is moot.
I find it sad when christians point fingers and think they can judge other denomination members’ relationship with Christ.
Perhaps that enthusiam and effort should be focused upon those who have not accepted Christ...
