There are legitimate doctrinal differences of opinion.

Statements of Christian Denominations on Mormonism:

In recent years, several Christian denominations have made studies of Mormon teaching and come to the conclusion that there are irreconcilable differences between LDS doctrine and Christian beliefs based on the Bible.

• Statement of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod
   
• Statement of the Presbyterian Church (USA)
   
• Statement of the Roman Catholic Church
   
• Statement of the Southern Baptist Convention
   
• Statement of the United Methodist Church
   
• Statement of the Assemblies of God Church

Typical anti-Mormon tactic—change the subject.

Let’s get back to the topic of baptism. Let’s see a statement from each one of those denominations on whether baptism is a requirement for salvation, who can perform it, how it is to be performed, and who has authority to perform it.

You will find legitimate differences in the way each one of those denominations interprets the Bible vis-a-vis the doctrine of baptism. That was the point I was making. A doctrinal exclusion of Mormonism must be equally applied across the spectrum of Christian practice. If Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and Methodists all have differing doctrines and they all use the Bible, something must be amiss with them. They can’t all correct.
