Is Governor Romney a Christian?

Governor Romney, a hopeful candidate for the office of President of the United States of America, is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "Mormons," or members of the LDS Church are Christians. His beliefs (and the beliefs of members of the church to which he belongs) differ, in some distinct points of doctrine, from other religions who claim to be Christian, just as they differ from each other on specific points of doctrine. Naturally, if they all believed the same things, there would be "one Lord, one faith, and one baptism." Someday, there will be one fold. Regardless, we respect others' freedom to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience.

If you would like the official LDS statement of belief regarding the Divinity of Jesus the Christ, please make a careful study of this document. For the record, I will be voting for whomever is selected to go up against the current President, regardless of his religious affiliation. I tremble to think what 4 more years of undermining and trampling on the Constitution, gross power grabs which violate the separation of powers in the 3 branches of govt., as well as galloping spending from overdrawn bank accounts, will do to our freedom.
