The official name of the Salt Lake City, Utah-based church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon is a term used to describe the adherents, practitioners, followers or constituents of Mormonism. The term most often refers to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is commonly called the Mormon Church. (43. Article of Faith #8, Oxford English Dictionary) The LDS Church believes that "Mormon" should properly be applied only to its members. However, the term is often used more broadly to describe any individual or group that believes in the Book of Mormon, including other Latter Day Saint groups. According to the Book of Mormon, Mormon is the name of the prophet who compiled the book of scripture known as the Book of Mormon. (44. The Westminster Dictionary of Church History pg 574) The Mormons were formed in 1830 by Joseph Smith. (45. BYU Studies pgs. 373–404) The term "Mormon" has its origins in the Book of Mormon, which is believed by Latter Day Saints to be a historical and religious record translated by Joseph Smith, Jr. into English by divine inspiration from golden plates that he received from the Angel Moroni. The book relates a history of three civilizations in the Americas from approximately 2700 B.C. until about 420 A.D., written by their prophets and followers of Jesus Christ.
The book of Mormon is added to and with the Bible
Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is another scriptural witness of Jesus Christ that is comparable to the Bible, which they also believe to be the word of God.
The born again salvation plan of Jesus Christ is no longer taught or practiced
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not repent of sins which is to be sorry for and forsake them nor do they baptize in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins as the first church did, nor receive the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of the speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the ability. The Bible clearly teaches in Galatians 1:6-9, that if any man or an angel from heaven comes preaching any other Gospel than what Jesus Christ and the Apostles preached, let him be cursed.
