It is because the Lord called Joseph Smith that salvation is again available to mortal men. If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation, ( Mormon Doctrine, p. 396, 670)
That exaltation which the saints of all ages have so devoutly sought is godhood itself (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321)

- Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 270
mormonism is not Christianity.
