Would it comfort you to know that before I became a Mormon I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour?
Or do you think my salvation had been undone by my baptism into the LDS church?
IIRC, accepting Jesus as your personal Savior begins a process whereby God’s Spirit enters your human spirit and begins to change you from the inside out. (He’s been working on me for almost forty years now.) Do you believe God’s Spirit would make you comfy while you troddle off into heresies and insults to God’s nature, The Son He provided for your salvation, and the Truth He has provided in scripture? ... Because that is what Mormonism does and if you were a born again Christian you would never be left by God’s Spirit to feel comfy in such heretical teaching as you receive in Mormonism.

The real question is “If you really knew who Jesus Christ, the only begotten son is, and had accepted that Jesus completely, not just in words, would you have wandered into the mormon denial of who Jesus Christ is?”
The mormon doctrine says that Jesus is not the only begotten son, and is the brother of Lucifer/Satan.

I echo the posts made by MHG and ES.
If you were really saved you wouldn’t have joined Mormonism. Or, along similar lines, you rejected Christ (and lost your salvation) by rejecting the Christ of the Bible and going after a false Christ of Mormonism and a system of works.
In short, either you were never saved, or you lost your salvation. I’m not part of the OSAS crowd, at least not as the LDS think what it means.
Salvation in Christ is belief in the grace of Christ through faith, not works. Salvation is predicated upon a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus. If I sin, I don’t lose my salvation, but if I no longer believe or go after a false Christ I terminate that relationship and thus am not saved. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (which is what Mormonism is) is the unforgivable sin.
In short, because you became a Mormon you divorced Christ.
I thought I was a Christian growing up, I wore a cross, listened to Stryper, went to vacation bible school and various churches. I thought I was a Christian when I was LDS. But only after as MHG put it I accepted Jesus as your personal Savior (by grace through faith alone) and God’s Spirit entered my life did I realized I never was a Christian before that. I was just thinking I was. I didn’t have a RELATIONSHIP with the Jesus of the Bible.
The same would apply to an athiest or a neo pagan.
