Whether or not they portray a different Christ than the Christ of the Bible has no bearing on the question of whether or not the Bible teaches us to expect revelation apart from the Bible. My perspective is that generally speaking the Mormons do have a misunderstanding of Christ. I do not see that our faith is in the same person. Nevertheless, I can pick just about any denomination within Christianity and find the same problem. The LDS sect has some unique features not found in other Protestant denominations, but that is a relatively minor squabble. If a person fails to place faith in the true Jesus Christ, the resulting damnation is just as great whether you are a Baptist, a Methodist, a Mormon, or a member of some other sect within Christianity. I know a few street preachers right now who refuse to make a commitment to do God's will. I consider this kind of error far worse than anything I have found in Mormonism. A person can know all the right answers to questions about who Jesus is, but if he will not commit to follow him and do his will in everything, what good is all that orthodox theology? Of course, a person committed to believing error and staying in error because his faith is in his church rather than Jesus Christ is bad too, and it leads to the same damnation. My point is simply that we are hypocrites to get all excited about Mormonism when some of those we associate with fall into errors that are just as damnable. Peace be with you.
