I believe that they are based on what I know. They preach from the Bible and believe that Jesus is the son of God and the redeemer of humanity.

Perhaps your knowledge of mormonism is incomplete. Are you aware that This was posted on FR a year ago this month?

"Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ"? Quote from the article, "How does the Prophet Joseph Smith fit into these apostolic requirements? The answer is “Perfectly.”

Jim Robinson made his views known Post #68 HERE on this thread claiming Apostleship for Joseph Smith.

"I’ll put it this way. I don’t believe a single word written by Joseph Smith or his followers when it departs from the Word of God as recorded in the Holy Bible and I’m not thrilled about people coming here to preach some false gospel from the pages of Free Republic.

Also, I imagine you are not aware that Mitt Romney has made this vow numerous times in mormon temples:

“You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.

Mormonism is not just another "Christian" sect. It is anti-Christian, was founded on Joseph Smith's declaration that was anti-Christian.

18 My object in going to ^ainquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.

19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all ^awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those ^bprofessors were all ^ccorrupt; that: “they ^ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ^ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the ^fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the ^gpower thereof.”

20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself ^alying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, ^bmother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.” It seems as though the ^cadversary was aware, at a very early period of my life, that I was destined to prove a disturber and an annoyer of his kingdom; else why should the powers of darkness combine against me? Why the ^dopposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy?

and there are 52,000 missionaries going out daily telling Christians that their faith is false and the only way to salvation is by becoming mormon..either alive or after death.

I believe that they are based on what I know.

Hang on then, Joel, and we'll be getting you some more knowledge here shortly...

Does Christianity teach that there are an uncounted multitude of other gods too?

Does Christianity teach that Jesus had to progress by following some rule system to become a god?

Does Christianity teach that Jesus' literal brother is satan.?

Does Christianity teach that the Father is cranking out spirit children with his heavenly wives?

If you answered no to the all of the above, then you should realize that mormonism isn't Christianity.

But they dont preach from the Bible

They themselves claim that Christianity died and it took an angel to tell joseph Smith this and that he was to start a new church with new teachings

The Bible is very clear on this and why it is wrong

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
