Okay, I’ll play a bit.

Let’s see, a major Christian denomination that acknowledges Mormons as Christians. How about the 10-13 million member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?

Now, it’s your turn try to explain why someone else’s opinion of ones sincere beliefs is more valid than ones own, and scold me for not falling for logical fallacy such as a “begged” question that assumed an answer within itself. When you define “Christian” as “Those who I agree with are Christian” and then set a question to find a “Christian denomination” that disagrees with you, you set up a logical null set.

Next, you might attempt the “But the biggest denominations agree with me” ploy, which is, of course, another logical fallacy known as Argument from Authority or Majority. The flaw being that they are not the Authority, Christ is, and that ones personal faith is not subject to majority rule.

Then, you might move on to another ad hominum, like calling me untruthful again.

And finally, after none of those work, you can try changing the subject again.

There, I saved us all some time.

Cute, asking the cult for the answer.

All of the Christian faiths require Mormons to be baptized into Christianity.

The Vatican, the Greek Orthodox, all the rest are in agreement on Mormonism.
