I'm not mormon but I'll tell you what they believe. They believe in God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit but as three separate Gods.
I and My Father are one. John 10:30
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. John 5:7
They believe Jesus was the brother of the devil...that would imply that Jesus was an angel.
For to which of the angels did He ever say: “ You are My Son, Heb. 1:5
They beleive that we become gods after we die and rule our own planets. They don't like the doctrine of hell.
Joseph Smith was their prophet. He's a false prophet. Too bad the angel he talked to was satan.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 2 Cor. 1113-15
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. Gal. 1:6-9
And the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. Jer. 14:14
They are a cult led by satan. They practice satanic rituals in their "temples."
Please gather as much info you can on this cult. It's not Christian! Only the surface appears to be. Please check out my sources.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim. 3:16-17
Notice the words "All Scripture" is given by God and those Scriptures are only from the Bible not the book of moron.
You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deut 4:2

Someone already cut and pasted the 13 Articles of Faith as published by the Church. The follownig is a more realistic statement:
1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father - Michael the Archangel, Adam, the "Ancient of Days" - although we now worship Elohim so as not to confuse our numerous anti-Mormon enemies.
2. We believe that men will be punished for doing their own thinking and for not reporting the transgressions of others.
3. We believe that all mankind will be saved by obedience to Church leaders on all levels, presuming, of course, that they do not contradict each other.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, faith in the infallibility of Church leaders; second, penance and uncensored confession to one's bishop; third, preserving one's Church membership at any cost; fourth, the need for a fourth principle has been eliminated by modern revelation.
5. We believe that a man be called of God usually by family origin, by the laying on of hands, but the granting of such privileges to women will require considerable public pressure.
6. We believe in much the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, viz., apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, seventies, etc., but we reserve the right to change things from time to time as we see fit.
7. We believe in the gifts of tithing, investments, media manipulation, political interference, compound interest and good public relations, for we are striving to become a universal "World" church.
8. We believe the Bible to be the Word of God as far as we can decipher its archaic vocabulary; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God, especially now that we have amended it to harmonize with modern doctrinal alterations.
9. We believe in much of what God used to reveal, and we believe that if He yet reveals further things to us, that President Hinckley will tell us; and if he is too comatose, Elder Packer will do it for him.
10. We believe in literally scattering Israel throughout all nations and that all mankind, whether black or white, come from the tribe of Ephraim; that Zion is in Utah Valley or any other place where a Mormon of a pure heart can be found. Indeed, we may say that Zion can be found in the remotest, most God-forsaken corners of this world.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of the Brethren and require that all men do the same, and worship when, where, how or what is prescribed in the current Priesthood handbook and Ensign magazine. Attendance at symposia, or other open forums is an excommunicable offense.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, queens, admirals, judges, federal agencies, revenue officials, and in obeying, honoring and sustaining civil, maritime, de facto laws. In fact, we believe in following all national and international governments, because God will not hold us responsible for doing wrong if someone else tells us to do it.
13. We believe in good lawyers and doctors, short hair, tall buildings, dark blue suits, white shirts, fashionable underwear, financial prosperity and an affluent public image. In fact, if there is anything praiseworthy or newsworthy, which will make good report, we seek after these things. Conversely, if there is any material from our past which could generate controversy, we will seek it out, purchase it, conceal it, deny it and excommunicate anyone who even dares to mention it.

1 WE believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
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.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

I am L.D.S. We believe in modern-day prophets. We believe in the Bible, and an ancient record called The Book of Mormon.
D&C contains early revelations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Pearl of Great Price explains the Bible better.
