“The difference is that Fred’s church is a Christian church - holding to the orthodox position. The mormonism group is not.”
AMPU, you speak the terms “Christian” and “Orthodox” as if they are synonyms. They are not, no matter how many times you repeat it in different threads.

Christian: one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ
Orthdox: conforming to established doctrine especially in religion
I believe in and try to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I am a Christian.
I also happen to be LDS.
I also happen to be LDS.
Christianity and LDS are mutually exclusive. What the LDS (and other cults) have done across time is to redefine terms in their own manners so that they can use the same "vocabulary" as Christians, but with PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT meanings.
I am sure the LDSers believe in jesus christ, but assuredly they DO NOT believe in Jesus Christ.
tant,
Truthfully, how can you claim to “follow the teachings
of Jesus” when you adhere to mormonism, which denies
the very identity of Jesus Christ as Eternal God?
The doctrine of mormonism is neither Christian nor
does it teach orthodox Christian doctrine.
Individuals may in fact be Christians - though trapped
in mormonism - but not because they follow it’s teachings
and beliefs. And I truly hope you are one of those. I wish
you no ill. In fact, after interacting with you over the
months, I want you to know I like you. When I post about
mormonism, I do not refer to you or any individual. I post
about the falsehoods of the cult of mormonism.
best,

Christianity is the religion which holds that Christ is God.
