“Are Mormons Christians?”: A Blog Round Table

Last updated on: October 7, 2013 at 10:39 am By Chris Henrichsen

Author’s Note: This post is cross-posted at Faith-Promoting Rumor. Are Mormons Christians? For most Mormons, the answer to this question is obvious. Yes, yes they are. They believe in Jesus Christ.
