Will a Mormon join a non-Mormon church? Will they, for example, feel free to join a Baptist church, or a Methodist church, or an Evangelical Free church, or a Presbyterian church, or a Pentecostal church? No, because they don’t consider them to be doctrinally sound. They consider them to be holding on to distorted doctrines. Mormons look down on the various Christian denominations; it shows me that they don’t consider themselves in the same camp as Christian churches. They themselves are separating themselves from Evangelical Christian churches and doctrine. It follows that they are not, therefore, Christian (though someone with the name “Jesus” is central to both faiths).

I feel free to attend and join any Evangelical church. Any church that dismisses Scripture as unreliable and faulty, and that trusts the writings of a creative man who translated now-missing Egyptian tablets into English using a hat and a rock, is not to be considered in the same camp as Christian churches that find Scripture trustworthy.

I, as a Christian, concur with Mormons that their faith is fundamentally different from mine.

I’d be happy to see Romney become President. It’d bring a microscope to the false doctrines collectively known as Mormonism.

“They themselves are separating themselves from Evangelical Christian churches and doctrine. It follows that they are not, therefore, Christian (though someone with the name “Jesus” is central to both faiths).”

Pretty much my thoughts on the matter.

Interesting point. I hope to see a response from the Mormon apologists.

You commit the basic logical fallacy here of "begging the question". To accept your conclusion, one has to accept your premise that pre-defines Christian to fit your conclusion. When the framing of your argument presupposes that "Christian" is to be defined as "those who follow Evangelical doctrines", then naturally you come to the conclusion that non-Evangelicals are not Christians. But, of course that would also make other Churches with non-Evangelical doctrines, such as Catholic and Orthodox, not Christian by your definition.

What truly follows from your argument is that Mormons are not Evangelical Protestants. I doubt Mormons would argue with that.
