Ridenhour's statement said that though he was raised and trained to speak against the Mormons as a cult, he came to see that while their beliefs are different, they are not a cult.

LDS is a non-Christian cult. A non-Christian cult is an organization that claims to be Christian while at the same time denying core teachings of Christianity. One such core teaching is that there is one God. Mormons teach that there are many gods and that human beings can become gods, create their own worlds, populate them and "save" them if necessary.

LDS isn't merely "different." It is a non-Christian religion that masquerades as a Christian religion, using Christian terminology, slogans, and some Christianesque ceremonies.

Tearful "apologies" do nothing to establish LDS as Christian any more than using Christian vocabulary.

...Christians held beliefs that today would be considered bizarre. Some believed that there were two, 12, or as many as 30 gods. Some thought that a malicious deity, rather than the true God, created the world. Some maintained that Christ's death and resurrection had nothing to do with salvation while others insisted that Christ never really died at all.
