So what ?
Every one of these groups criticizes something different. That they don't "accept" Mormons is no big surprise. I notice that the Catholic comment is that they don't accept LDS baptisms as valid - nothing more.
Does this seem odd ? Of course they don't accept LDS baptisms. They weren't done by ordained Catholic priests.
And this "apostolic" dodge is terribly silly. If it's true that ALL these religions come directly from the apostles, why are they all different ? The Catholic church has some legitimate claim to that, if you disregard the anti-popes. But the rest ? They're no more "apostolic" than I'm pink with purple polkadots.
One of them claims the Mormons are not Christian because they say God has a physical body. Please show me proof that God does not have a physical body.
Personally I don't know. But one thing I do know is that the writer has no more hard knowledge than I do.
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. (Luke 24:39)
..Christ... Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (Colossians 1:15)
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen... (Romans 1:19-20)
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17)
...who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (1 Timothy 6:15-16)
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. (Hebrews 11:27)
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18)
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. (John 6:46)
Please show me proof that God does not have a physical body.

You OBVIOUSLY do not read Hebrew (or Greek), do you?
All of the verses the LDS use for God having a body in the OT, either are anthropomorphisms or refer to the Shekinah (shining glory of God).
And then there is always this verse from the mouth of Jesus.
“God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).
In the Greek, there is no article before spirit (pneuma), which emphasizes the quality. In English it would be an equivalent of a predicate nominative.
Furthermore, the word pneuma occurs first in the sentence which places an emphasis on it. God = Spirit, not ‘a’ spirit, or “has a spirit” (JST), He consists solely of spirit.
