No, that's a list of what Matt Slick believes defines Christianity.
Read up on Slick and how he's been running CARM.
...While you still can, as someone's been going around scrubbing anything that doesn't put him in a good light.
Once place to start:
Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry (CARM) - SHIELDS
You have to be kidding!!!!
What did he say that is incorrect?????
What do the facts say from anyone who has looked into and studied the Mormon religion say.
Slaying the messenger does not effect the message my dear friend.
Since you have a problem with CARM, lets see what others say so that you can challenge them as well..........
Humans have the potential to achieve godhood if they follow Mormon teachings. In his King Follett speech, Joseph Smith Jr. said, “Here then is eternal life — to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God the same as all gods have done before you.”
There is no original sin. The Articles of Faith 2 says, “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.” This is in contrast to Romans 5, which says death came to all through one man’s sin. This raises the troubling question for Mormons of why Jesus even had to die.
God the Father has a physical body. D&C 130:22 says, “The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s.”Thus, man is made in the image of the body of God (Moses 6:9). This is in contrast with John 4:24, which says, “God is spirit.”

Here then from What Do Mormons Believe? Ex-Mormon Speaks Out – Part Two
LDS Article 1: "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost."
"Mormons do not believe in the Trinity as we understand it. They believe that God and Jesus were separate physical people" who dwelled on the earth, Johnston said. God was Jesus' father, and both men died.
Article 2: "We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression."
"Mormons do not believe in original sin. In the LDS religion, you can't sin until you reach the age of accountability, which is age 8. We are all born perfect," Johnston explained.
Article 8: "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."
"That one opens the door," Johnston said. "That's where the can of worms comes out."
"When this was taught to me as a child – they started by asking us to play the telephone game, where you whisper a phrase in your neighbor's ear and it is passed down the line," she said. "Obviously, at the end, the original phrase had changed and no longer resembles what was said at the beginning. The comparison was then made to the Bible – that it has been changed and revised over the years and so we can't completely trust that it is accurate."
