I've decided that southern Baptists and Missouri-synod Lutherans aren't Christian. They are different from me and that's all I can and will see. It doesn't matter what THEY think on the subject, so don't bother providing me with any information about what they believe. I won't be convinced.
Thanks.
And that's your prerogative. (I'm guessing you're being facetious, but that's not the point.) Note that i didn't say it was a bad idea for Mormons to wage a PR campaign about Mormonism and what Mormons believe. I just said that it won't resolve the controversy over whether Mormons are Christians.
Also, please understand that I am not taking any position on this matter at all. I have no dog in the fight. I think it's really fascinating, however.
P.S. As a Catholic, it would put you outside both the Church's teaching and the Catholic mainstream to consider Southern Baptists and Missouri-synod Lutherans not to be Christians. The same cannot be said for Mormons.
Edited to add the P.S.
