Star Trek V always reminded me of Mormonism.

God has a body of flesh and bone, right? I know the concept of the 'burning in the bosom' has historically been important to Mormons.

I do have an earnest question, though. The Mormons (or LDS, I apologize if I use terms or titles that would not be preferred) in recent decades have pitched Mormonism as being basically another Christian denomination. What say you about this? Isn't classical Christianity an abomination according to LDS doctrine, indeed another gospel that Paul said should be cursed? If Smith was to restore the gospel, doesn't that mean historical Christianity was hopelessly wrong? I guess my real question is... should Mormonism be lumped in the Christian camp with all its historical inheritance, or be considered something different (restoration or otherwise)?

As a case example, classical Christianity (at least the Protestant tradition) maintains the principle of sola gracia and sola fide, or salvation by grace alone through faith alone. Can Mormonism really hold to these in order to be considered Christian in the classical sense? If something like celestial marriage is required, which is an essential element that is absent from historic Christianity, aren't the two things fundamentally distinct?

I'm not trying to get at which is true, if either. Rather, I just want to be clear about what's what.
