“Some denominations don’t reject Mormons as christians”


Do you have links to the denominations that accept Mormonism as Christian?

That’s a twist on what I said. I said there are some denominations which do not reject MORMONS as Christians. I did NOT say that there were denominations that do not reject MORMONISM as Christian.

I hope you see the difference. In the first, the question is whether an individual who has been in the Mormon church could be accepted as a member of the new denomination.

The second is whether the denomination recognizes the other denomination as adhering to Christian principles.

I believe the United Church of Christ will accept the Mormon baptism for membership. I also know that some United Methodist churches were accepting it, and the church leadership eventually issued a declaration to require Mormons to be re-baptised. So that probably doesn’t count any more.

I’m sorry my attempt to be more specific provided a statement prone to a specific argument, when I wasn’t providing information to raise a debate. I wasn’t trying to counter someone’s claim.
