"fuzzy around the edges" is an apt description. It's not as simple as many are here arguing. For example, Mormons not only profess belief in Jesus Christ, they believe their church was founded by modern revelation directly from Christ. The official name of the church is "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." Yet many Baptists and others deny that they are Christians. They apparently reserve to themselves the right to define the term.

By the way, Mormons do believe in a virgin birth.

Just as there are many legitimate different translations of the word "God", there are many illegitimate references to the name "Jesus". Mormons speak of a "Jesus" but are not talking about the same Person that Christians are. Perhaps some demon has been brazen enough to call himself by that name. Christians love and worship the Jesus who is eternally part of the Godhead no less than the Father and Holy Spirit. Mormons blaspheme Jesus Christ, who is true God (from all eternity) and true man (for all eternity since the incarnation), without sin, who is the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.
