 | | In 1834, this institution became known as the Church of Latter Day Saints, and in 1838 the name was changed to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. | | | The Community of Christ, previously known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints—based on the Church of Christ organized by Joseph Smith Jr. | | | (Note: Not all Latter Day Saint denominations may be properly called Mormon.) It should be noted that orthodox biblical christians consider the LDS church to be a heretical cult and so their teachings and practices are rejected. |

| | Latter Day Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Latter Day Saints consider themselves to be "saints" in the earliest Christian sense of the word, meaning members of the original church that they believe Jesus organized before his death in the First Century, AD. | | | Often, the term is used to refer specifically to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is the largest Latter Day Saint denomination. | | | Latter Day Saints are sometimes also referred to as Mormons (a nickname taken from the title of the Book of Mormon). |

| | The devout Mormon belief is that Smith was chosen by God as a "Prophet, Seer and Revelator" in the "latter days", and to restore Christ's church to a world that had fallen away in apostasy. | | | Most Latter Day Saints revere him as the translator of The Book of Mormon, a martyr, and a prophet through which God revealed the doctrines of Mormonism. | | | Although it is believed that Emma was instrumental in forming the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (now Community of Christ), there is little evidence that she was directly involved in various proposals made to her son, Joseph Smith III to re-organize a church in the 1860s. |

| | CHURCH OF CHRIST : Encyclopedia Entry |
| | Continued faithfulness is enjoined because the Church of Christ denies the doctrine of perseverance of the saints. | | | Some members would also object to the categorization of their church as a "denomination", as one of the tenets of this movement is that they are not a denomination and that denominationalism is a sinful departure from the original plan laid down in the Bible for the church. | | | What was called the International Churches of Christ (ICOC) (sometimes called "The Boston Movement" which was grounded in the Church of Christ "Crossroads Movement"), was often labeled a cult by mainstream congregations, had its origins in certain congregations of the Church of Christ. |
