I lived in Utah, got to know a lot of Mormons and asked them about their faith. Most of what I heard was in line with the Apostle's Creed. Sure, they've added a lot of nonsense to the basic gospel. It's in error, clearly . I also view the "goddess" treatment of Mary and image-worship and the notion of a earthly spriitual intermediary as error, but I still regard most of the Catholics I know as Christian. To be disobedient is not to be anti-Christ.

Jesus told us how to recognize Christians. He said that their fruits would show them. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit. I never cease to be impressed at the good works Mormons manage, despite all the error.

What good works are those? People usually say, but mormons are so nice and do so many good things, never actually seem to know what those are and the conditions placed on them.

There’s no way mormon beliefs can be said to line up with the Apostle’s Creed. Their teachings are fundamentally different from Christianity.

Just because some people are nice and decent doesn’t make them a Christian. Jesus said “You must be born again”. If a person doesn’t trust in Jesus of the Bible for forgiveness of their sins, they simply aren’t born again and will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

You are in error regarding the passage you are misusing about ‘by their fruits’. Find the passage in the New Testament and read the context. Yes, I could give you the verses, but it appears you are in need of opening and reading your Bible ...

Jesus was talking about false prophets. And we know Joseph Smith was a false prophet.

You've been taught wrong:

Matthew 7:15-20

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

¹⁶Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

²⁰Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Did it ever occur to you they were either lying or defining words differently, because they are.

I also lived in Utah and was LDS, we were taught to lie to outsiders to sound more ‘mainstream’ all the while laughing at them that WE (LDS) had the truth and Christians were stupid.
