Sorry, but your 1st paragraph doesn’t make sense.

What name do you use, when you pray? Is it necessary to say, ‘Dear God of the Bible’, when praying? What happens when a Mormon says the “Our Father” or ‘Heavenly Father’?

You’ll have to explain. When you ask, how does the prayer start out? If there is only one God, how is He addressed? Does it automatically get routed? What happens when someone prays that doesn’t speak english? How is their prayer started?

How is it, that you can tell if God is listening or not?

You are asking a very interesting question. Is there a difference when praying? If a Catholic, or a Mormon, or a Baptist start a prayer with "our Father who art in Heaven," does it get "routed" differently? Is there some function of what is in someone's mind when they say those words that determines if the prayer is effective or not?

Great question. I am going to side with - no, it makes no difference, they all get "routed" to God.

I would be interested to see other's thoughts.

No, what I mean is that it is not what you say. It is what you mean. Words are mere symbols that represent a meaning. the meaning is what counts. I do not believe that all mormons are not Christian. Rather, I believe the god of mormonism is not God. WHO a person is praying to is more important than what he/she calls Him.

Words are our limited way of communicating to God, but only a part of our communication. IOW, this whole conversation is somewhat irrelevant, relatiely speaking.
