Are Mormons Christians?

Here are two contrasting videos- one answering "yes," the other answering "no." I post the first video not to poke fun at Joel Osteen, but because I think that he represents the view of many Christians who do not know what to make of Mormonism besides what they have heard from the Mormons themselves. Mormons present themselves as a "Christian" faith and like to be referred to as the "Church of Jesus Christ." So, here you have Osteen confronted with the question: "Are Mormons Christians?" and he fumbles around a bit but answers "yes" based simply upon their saying that Jesus is their "Savior."

The second video is a short clip by James White who explains why Mormons are, in fact, not Christians at all. I hope this is helpful- particularly for those, like us here in Blacksburg, who are in areas where the Mormon population is large. I also hope that this will serve as an introduction to James White's ministry which is very helpful indeed.
