Recovery to Mormonism
Jesus Christ
Are Mormons Christians? Do they worship Jesus or someone else? Anti- and ex-Mormons will have you believe that they are not. Their doctrines are too strange to be Christian, or they worship a different Jesus. In reality, though, Mormons are Christian; it would be hard to argue otherwise. Read on.
One of the favorite tactics of anti-Mormons is to claim that Mormons are not Christian. Part of a former Mormon’s “recovery from Mormonism” involves such things as “accepting the true Christ,” implying (and often more than implying) that Mormons do not worship Christ, or worship the wrong one (somehow).

Do Mormons believe in the Atonement?
Anti-Mormons and ex-Mormons, those “recovering from Mormonism” or encouraging you to, will sometimes assert that Mormons don’t believe that they are saved by Christ.

The real name of the Mormon Church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—“Mormons” and “Mormon Church” were nicknames created by those outside the Church.

But many Christians, even those who aren’t anti-Mormon or ex-Mormon, claim that Mormons aren’t Christian at all and can’t be. Why is this? (Read more)
Do Mormons believe they can save themselves?
Mormons don’t believe in salvation by grace? No. Mormons don’t believe in salvation by grace alone. This is an important distinction. Nor is there anything or anyone in the New Testament that says “If you make any attempt to keep the commandments of the Lord and to follow Christ’s teachings, if you think it a good idea that Christians should strive not to sin, for the sake of their souls, you are in grave error and surely will not be saved.” Of course not.
