Pastor Mike’s Answer (edited)
A person who trusts the theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not trusting the biblical God, the biblical Christ, or the biblical gospel. Mormon teaching presents God, Jesus, humanity’s destiny, and salvation differently from historic Christianity.
Using Christian words does not guarantee the same meaning. Mormon theology does not teach the unique, eternal deity of Christ or salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. It adds other authorities and requirements that fundamentally change the gospel.
Christians who speak with Mormon missionaries should be loving but well prepared. Missionaries are trained to use biblical language in support of LDS claims, so Christians should study the differences, explain the identity and work of the biblical Jesus, and clearly present the gospel of grace.
