"We (LDS) are believers in Jesus Christ and followers of Christ. Doesn’t seem inaccurate to therefore call ourselves Christians."

The LDS folks I've known in the past decade or so feel that way but it was those who I knew twenty or more years ago who didn't want to be called Christian. Which is what I was wondering about because I don't know when that changed or why. Do you any idea when that might have been and why?

The first time I met with a Mormon family I asked them what they were as far as their faith went — the answer I got was “we’re Christians”. That was over 25 years ago, and I’ve never heard anyone in the LDS faith teach that we aren’t Christians.

I know we have some different doctrinal beliefs than other Christian denominations, but we believe in the same Jesus from the same Bible, so I think it’s a very fair and accurate appellation.

And we ain't gonna trump their FEELINGS with facts or logic.

It is a spiritual battle against demonic forces.

Keep this in mind as you read MORMON replies in these threads.
