Is The Church of Latter Day Saints Christians ?

If we turn to the Bible for information on the term Christian, we find the word is used only three times: in Acts 11:26, 26:28 and 1 Peter 4:16. The only definite information about the origin of the name "Christian" is found in the first of these scriptures. It says the disciples were called Christians for the first time at Antioch. The disciples mentioned were, of course, the followers of Jesus. In its simplest form then, "Christian" is a name reserved for those who are followers of Jesus Christ

If you are Christian you can say this truthfully.

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

Shalom,

I am not familiar with the "church of the latter day saints".

Is your question directed more correctly to "The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints"?

If you can give clear definition only then can a clear answer be given.
