And what are those words?
Mormons believe Jesus is the Son of God and God incarnate. We believe he’s our Savior and the only way to heaven.

Oh... little things like THIS!
"If I ever pass into heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of Prophet Joseph"
--Brigham Young
(JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, vol. 8, p. 224).
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

Edward, you ask, yet no doubt you know that mormonism
identifies Jesus as a different Jesus than Christianity
does. When mormonism says “God the Father”, they mean
a someone who is very different than the God Christians
mean. You are no doubt very aware of this.
The God the Father Christians worship was never a man. Doesn’t
have a physical body. The mormonism God the Father used
to be a human who has now risen to being God.
The mormonism Jesus is a created spirit being who came to
earth to get a body and then became god. The Christian Jesus
Christ was never created and was always God, second member
of the TriUnity of the Godhead.
To use the same words does defacto mean that mormonism and
Christianity mean the same thing. Of course, you probably
know that, since you know what mormonism means.
