Two Different Gospels
Often an LDS missionary will say, "We are Christians too", But these two doctrines differ on foundational issues that make the two faiths nothing but polar opposites.
Who is God - Christianity
The one True God, from everlasting to everlasting. He is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, existing as one God in 3 persons.
All other "gods" are false and in opposition to the one true God.
A marker has a shell, ink with a tip, and a lid. Three different pieces with different jobs but still one marker, the same marker, with the same imprint and intent.
Who is God - LDS
Elohim, once a man, worked his way to godhood and made all of us in the physical sense with his goddess wives. There are many gods, and we can become Gods. Jesus is the literal first born son of Elohim and exists as a separate God- Read "Where does it say that" a Book of Mormon texts showing these claims stated by Mormon Prophets.
According to the LDS scriptures salvation is achieved by "grace through faith, after all you can do". The doctrine requires specific ordinances and teaches a set path which directly correlates to the level of heaven achieved according to those works. Jesus atonement didn't pay it all.
According to the Christian scriptures salvation is achieved by, Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Jesus atonement did pay it all. Christianity teaches a submission to God after the realization of our separation from Him due to our sin. We accept Christ and receive His righteousness not our own. He intern indwells in us and it is the working of Him in us to produce good works, that act as an evidence for our faith.
