By definition, yes.

frankly i don't care what you consider me i know what i believe and if that doesn't "fit" your definition of Christianity good for you. I know who my savior is and i am thankful for his sacrifice, if thats not good enough for you keep it between you and god.

Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Last I heard, judgment on such matters was reserved to Christ himself.

Our belief in Christ is more than just a claim.

Yes of course they are Christians .They believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God. That makes them a Christian denomination Church.

We should consider anyone to be Christian, just because they claim to believe in Christ. - Being Christian is not about having only CORRECT beliefs, or none of us would qualify. It is only about who we choose to try to follow. Thus even even Southern Baptists and Catholics qualify. And so do Mormons.

Actually, there is more to it than that. We seem to have two definitions for what or who is a Christian. The Catholics and Protestants have their own definition of what makes a Christian. We Latter Day Saints, do not qualify, nor do we wish to be known as a Christian Church by their definition. We do however know ourselves to be Christian according to the Bible definition. The Apostles, on the day of Pentacost, explained the steps for becoming a Christian, or a member of Christs Church. This is found in Acts 2;37,38.."Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." These steps were devised by Christ. And there is no other way set forth to become a member of his Church. Step #1. Have Faith In Jesus Christ. 2. Repent of all your sins. 3. Be baptized by immersion, by one having the Priesthood from God, as did the Apostles. 4. Have hands laid on the head of the baptized individual, also by the same Priesthood as the Apostles held, to receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Catholics claim the authority, but they do not have the keys of the Priesthood, which authorizes the use of the Priesthood. These keys were taken with the Apostles when they were removed from the Church. The Protestants do not claim this priesthood so neither they nor the Catholics can qualify for steps 3, and 4. And therefore cannot qualify as Christians according to the Bible. However we LDS do recognize them as Christians because they do worship Christ in their own way and do try to follow his teachings as they understand them. The LDS Church is the only Church today who can qualify as Christians, as set forth by the Bible. In 1829 Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were visited by John the Baptist and later Peter, James, and John who in turn laid their hands on their heads and bestowed the Priesthood. John the Baptist giving them the authority to baptize, and Peter James and John giving them the Melchizedek Priesthood, along with the Keys of the Priesthood. So as I said Just believing in Christ is not enough, we must repent of all our sins, and be baptized by one having the Priesthood and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, by the laying on of hands of the Priesthood, for which we qualify as Bible Christians in every respect...Later

"According to the Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Mormonism is the restoration of Christianity. However, from the standpoint of some Trinitarian Christians, Mormonism significantly departs from Christianity, though a recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center found that over two-thirds of Americans surveyed do consider Mormons to be Christian. Bruce R. McConkie, an apostle of the Church, expressed the LDS view when he wrote, "Mormonism is Christianity; Christianity is Mormonism; they are one and the same, they are not to be distinguished from each other in the minutest detail..." Since its beginning in the 1820s (Joseph Smith's First Vision), the Latter Day Saint movement has proclaimed itself to be Christianity restored to its original authority, structure and power; teaching that the existing denominations "were believing in incorrect doctrines, and that none of them was acknowledged of God as his church and kingdom", and "all their creeds were an abomination in his sight." The conflicting doctrines and claims of authority of Mormonism and mainstream Christianity have been the cause of deadly conflicts in the past and still generate dismissive criticism from both sides today. Latter Day Saints believe in the Old and New Testaments, in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior, the crucifixion as a final offering and his resurrection. However, Latter Day Saints reject the ecumenical creeds and definition of the Trinity taught by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Anglican Communion, and Trinitarian Protestantism, and hold that the New Testament prophesied both the apostasy from the teachings of Christ and his apostles as well as the restoration of all things prior to the second coming of Christ. LDS also hold the Book of Mormon to be divine scripture, equal in authority to the Bible. In the LDS view, although traditional Christians profess belief in Christ and teach much that is true, they misunderstand important doctrines and lack "the keys of the kingdom of heaven" that were a foundational part of primitive Christianity. The LDS teach that these keys were taken from the earth with the death of the original apostles, and were restored to Joseph Smith, Jr., by those who held them anciently, resulting in a full restoration of primitive Christianity. Mormonism is one of numerous denominations that arose during the nineteenth century, sometimes described by the term 'Restorationism', which like others before and since have rejected traditional Christianity and the denominations that represent it. For their part, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics, each with their distinctive emphases, teach that the Christian faith has been passed on in the church since the time of the Twelve Apostles. Traditional Christian churches teach that the scriptural canon is closed to new revelation, which ceased with the end of the Apostolic Age. The creeds of traditional Christian churches, such as the Nicene creed (A.D. 325), describe the faith that has been preserved. Traditional Christians teach that this transmitted faith is the biblical doctrine, preserved by the guidance of the Holy Spirit; especially, the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholicism teach that this Faith is a necessary accompaniment to the Bible. By inference, any who depart from the faith preserved by the Holy Spirit cannot authentically proclaim the Gospel of reconciliation through Christ. Traditional belief, especially the belief in Trinitarianism and the conviction that new public revelation ended with the death of the last apostles, implies that the Latter Day Saints' additional scriptures and other revelations alienate them from the Christian tradition of faith."

NO, Mormons are not Christian and the jesus christ they claim fame to, is not the Jesus of the Bible. By what definition, yours? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian.... "A Christian listen (help·info) is a person who adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and interpreted by Christians to have been prophesied in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament." Just touch the surface, Mormons believe there are more gods than one can count. That is not exactly monotheistic, now is it.

mormons are mormons, one never hears them being called christians. they want to be seen as different from christians.
