This however is not the place for a doctrinal discussion of mormonism - however - I do ask that if you consider them errant, I will welcome your reasoned response / correction.
I'd be very interested to hear about the traditional Christian creeds they don't accept, if they're practicing LDS.
I was only a member for about 8 years, but having earlier attended Presbyterian, Catholic and Episcopalian churches, I found nothing about the Mormons which struck me as un-Christian. Having read the Bible many times, and studied it a fair amount, I still maintain that opinion.
But maybe my own thoughts are not "traditional". For instance, I don't believe that God created the world in six 24 hour days approximately 6,000 years ago.
Could you elaborate on the non-acceptance of traditional creeds?
And I didn't find your post offensive. Yours was a great example of how people can reasonably disagree, which is what makes for interesting discussions.
I'm reasonably sure Rev911 is talking about certain sections in Joseph Smith's "first vision" account. It's been debated in the forum before. I won't go into it here, as this thread is intended to talk about the new Mod and Mod rules, not about specific beliefs per se.
I have no doubt the "first vision" issue will come up again, as it stands as a significant point of disagreement and contention between the LDS and historic Christianity.
For the purpose of explication, Creeds would include the Athanasian, Nicene, the Westminster Confession, Heidelburg Confession, Chalcedonian creed to name a few. Our Catholic friends could probably fill in the blanks here (I am trying to get electricity and cable going for a new living space and have most of my info packed). Just for starters. I would happily provide more information for you upon request. :-)
IMO - both upright Trinitarian Christians who believe in the divinity of Christ and soveriegn nature of God
