Reddit reviews Are Mormons Christians

Please read "Are Mormons Christians?" by Stephen E. Robinson. He systematically goes through the various dogmatic definitions of Christian and shows that any attempt to qualify Christianity as excluding Mormonism also excludes various other faiths/denominations as well.

For me it boils down to definitions. Whenever someone says, "But Mormons/you aren't Christian." my response is always to honestly ask, "What's your definition of Christian?"

You'll get responses that vary from "Anyone who follows Christ." to "Only people who go to my bible study group on Thursdays." To the former I simply share my testimony of the Savior and they are happily corrected. To the latter I just say, "Well, I guess I'm not a Christian then." and ask them if they feel Mother Theresa was a Christian. The vast majority of people are generally the former.

Bottom line, I could care less what other's definitions are. Only Christ Himself is qualified to claim His own (see parable of sheep and goats).

If you're a reader, I highly recommend these books:
