Not Trinitarians

Correct

Thank you.

The "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" are supposedly three persons who used to be human beings.

BZZT, Wrong Try this http://scriptures.lds.org/en/a_of_f/1

I tried it and found this:

1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost...

Joseph Smith

But Joseph Smith also says:
"I will preach on the plurality of gods. I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see"

Joseph Smith
King Follett Discourse

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. If the veil were rent today, and the great God who upholds all worlds and all things by his power, was to make himself visible—I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image, and likeness of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with him, as one man talks and communes with another"

Josehp Smith
King Follett Discourse

I'll grant you this, Mormon doctrine is a moving target.

You are the moving target; can you reference the “King Follett Discourse” on lds.org? No? Well that’s because it’s not church Cannon.

President Hinckley was asked specifically about this on a television interview and he said we don’t teach that. So who gets to say what gets taught in our church, you? I think you know the answer to that. I also think you couldn’t say a positive thing about a Mormon if he pulled you out of an avalanche and you were suffocating.

Stick with Cannon:
1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost...
Joseph Smith
