Well, again, I think Mormons and the Mormons I have known are sweet and for the most part well meaning and wonderful folk.
However, well meaning and good intentions and good works and family values don't get one into the Kingdom of God.
That's why I'm pointing this out today, that Mormonism is a nice sounding sorta "Christian" religion with clean cut boys on bikes that call themselves elders and "wards" and prophets and their own book of Mormon.
In God's view, Mormonism ain't so pretty.
Teachers are held to a much higher standard than others by the Bible
False Teachers are held to a really high standard of condemnation by the Bible.
"My people die for lack of knowledge" saith the Lord.
Your soliloquy on comparing Micah and Alma (! scary!) falls apart immediately because those old Testament prophets were stoned, honey, for speaking the word of God.
Beaten. Mistreated. Thrown in jail. Etc.
Why, because they chose to listen to God and tell the truth no matter what the emotional or educational mindset of their hearers.
So if Alma fudged a bit with the facts for the sake of his or her audience/readers, it does not line up with the historicity of God's prophets. Remember what Jesus said about the Old Testament prophets?
Mormonism isn't Christianity, because they teach that Jesus was Satan's brother and that we can be baptized after we die by our descendants... weird weird weird.
What kind of intercessory prayer do Mormons do? What kind of authority can they take over principalities and powers -- as Paul tells us to do in Ephesians -- when they don't even take God's word as pure?

FYI - so were many Book of Mormon prophets. Another surprising example of you making assumptions that you know nothing about.
