all consider rightfully mormons to be christians
but there are christians who don't like that so they will claim otherwise
just as there are christian sects which claim that catholics are not christians

Yes, they belief Jesus Christ is our savior and that he is the path to salvation.

alot of people dont even try to pratice what they say they follow. these people exist with in all religious denominations, some more than others.

all kinds of people pratice christianity, some with never having herd of the bible. its a way to live, its about love in your heart, not a specific denomination.

Asking Kindly, Is Mormonism Considered Christian?


Not really. Depends on who you ask.

I don't think many Christian donominations recognize the Mormon church as part of Christianity. In fact the Catholic church says:

What does the Catholic Church say about the practices and beliefs of Mormonism?

While individual Mormons may be persons of good conscience, Mormonism itself is a belief system that would reduce the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit from being the three Persons of the one, true, and infinite God to being three limited, finite deities among an uncounted multitude of deities, all of whom merely reshaped small parts of a preexisting cosmos.

Mormonism teaches that human beings may, by practicing the tenets of its faith, become gods and goddesses themselves, with their own planets full of people worshiping them.

While the Catholic Church would reject nothing that is true or good in Mormonism or any other world religion, Catholic theology would have to note that there is a tremendous amount in Mormonism that is neither true nor good. Further, because Mormonism presents itself as a form of Christianity yet is incompatible with the historic Christian faith, sound pastoral practice would need to warn the Christian faithful: Mormon theology is blasphemous, polytheistic, and cannot be considered on par with the theology of other Christian groups.


But on the other hand, I think at least some Mormons think of themselves as a branch of Christianity. I know Mitt Romney did, or maybe that was just because he was running for president?

Out of curiosity, why do you think this?

Kind of. Know what Star Wars fan fiction is? Mormonism is kind of like that, but just got carried away.

...as a born-again Protestant I do not and will not ever accept Mormonism as a legitimate sect of Christianity . Their teachings are in direct conflict with far too many basic tenets of the faith .

this could not have been stated better....

it's the main reason why most Christian religions (who actually know what the Mormons believe) don't accept them as Christian... they're polytheistic, and put limitations on God and the holy spirit....

I'm pretty sure I do... and I'm saying they aren't Christians....
