Personally, I don't think the average Mormon, the congregation, isn't "Christian". They believe they are. They are born into it just like any other Christian is born into whatever denomination their parents belong to.

I do think however, that the Churches theology is messed up and leading them down the wrong path, into error.

Ultimately, it's up to them as an individual to discover the Gospel Of Christ as the Lord urges every Christian to do. Failing to do so leads to fatal error.

Jesus did not do away with ministers because without them there could be no baptism and no spread of the faith. But He made their authority subservient to the Gospel. Jesus has made two things abundantly clear: First, obedience to the Gospel comes before anything or anybody. And second, there is no salvation in the Law (i.e., there is no salvation in theology). The ministers can baptize us, but their philosophies cannot save us.

Eternal life comes only to those who put the word of Jesus into practice in their lives. (Mk.3:35). Except for baptism, life after death does not come from any legal principle or theological premise.
