    Technically yes they consider themselves Christian, but to all other sects they’re not. Jesus’ adventures in America are considered heresy.

      All sects tend to consider other sects heresy.

      The Church of Christ (Joseph Smith) gave birth to Latter Day Saint denominations, the largest of which being the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

      They are Christians.

      Is there some sort of sect alliance between a bunch of sects that recognize each other as true christians?

      no?

      The Christian label is entirely self-ascribed and generally based in faith in Christ?

      Yes.

      They are Christians. Lmfao.

        The lutheran and catholic church are pretty buddy-buddy here in Germany. They obviously don’t see eye to eye on many things, but they consider each other Christian enough to hold services together every year.

        Don’t think they’d invite the mormons even if those had significant numbers here. Might be wrong, though.
