I must conclude that unless you have different definitions of words like "always" that you are NOT a Mormon.
Joseph Smith taught that God was once a man and was later exalted to become a God. You don't believe that nonsense, do you?

No, no, definitely not a Mormon. I was at one time an Evangelical/fundamentalist Christian but after studying the Hebrew Roots of our Faith for the last 22 years I now identify myself as a Messianic Israelite. I take literally Galatians 3:29 “that if ye be in Christ Jesus, ye are Abraham’s seed (sperm)” It’s a long story...
