Because certain evangelical groups do not consider Mormons Christians.

Their name is, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."

Some of their beliefs and practices are odd and baffling to us non-mormons but they are practicing their interpretation of Christianity.

I do not know about other parts of the country but we have two interesting sects of Christianity here in the South. One is the "snake handlers" and the other is the "Foot washing Baptists."
They practice their Christianity in a weird way but they are clearly devout.

Lots of Mormons (most?) have the same dedication to Jesus Christ.

"Their name is, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.""

Again, I am not stating the merits of the dispute. Merely the fact of the dispute.

Their dedication is to the church. You leave the church and see what happens. A true Christian is simply a Christian. His denomination is irrelevant. A Baptist can worship in a Presbyterian church and a Presbyterian can worship in a Baptist church. I can go to a Catholic church and worship there even though I am Protestant.

A Christian is part of the catholic church of Jesus Christ. There is no one true denomination. A Mormon who accepts Christ as his Lord and Savior is a Christian. A Mormon who feels the Mormon church is the only true church is not a Christian because his allegiance is to the earthly church, not Christ.

No Mormon considers other Christians real Christians.

They would say you are going to hell.
