Do you consider Mormons Chrsitians?

In my admittedly limited knowledge of the Mormon faith, no. I used to, because I was one of those who felt any faith that followed Christ and believed in Christ as the Messiah was Christian.

And then I learned that Salvation through Grace is apparently not sufficient to the Mormons. I also considered the addition of the Book of Mormon, and held it against some of the warnings in the Bible, then learned more about Mormon history and its questionable foundation.

Do I hold this against Mormons? No, I don’t. Not any more than I look down on those who get suckered by the telephone scams or the slick used car salesman. The only thing I hold against the Mormons is when they try to convert me (or others) while at the same time saying “just leave us alone to believe what we believe.”

I think the religion itself is flawed and dangerous, and is to be avoided. But the people are frail and fallen, just like the rest of us, so I pray for them instead of hating them.

But no, I do not believe they are Christian.
