I thought Mormon's believed the first two books of the bible, the Holy Trinity, and so on but then added a bunch of crazy American stuff.
It's almost as if South Park and musicals aren't a good way to learn about a religion.

Damian, there is no rule about membership of a specific church in order to be a Christian, but as so much of the teaching in the New Testament likens the Church to a human body, with each member a part of that body, it is pretty hard to escape the conclusion that following Jesus pretty much mandates doing so in association with other people.

Cool. There is no 'Christian' church as such then but a number of them. Christianity is just the aspects of faith that unites these different churches?
