No, I think that's not enough, otherwise Muslims - who
claim to follow the teachings and philosophy of Jesus,
the penultimate Prophet - would be Christians.
That could be resolved if Christians are those who believe that
Jesus was the last prophet. Since Muslims believe Muhammad
superseded Jesus they are not Christians.
This does mean that the LDS are not Christians...maybe Smithians :)
Latter-day Saints do not worship Joseph Smith or believe that he
atoned for our sins as Christ did.
Muslims don't worship Muhammad or believe that he atoned for anyone's
sins. They just believe that the angel Gabriel gave him the info for
the Koran. Like Moroni gave Joseph Smith some stuff. The ambiguity is
inherent in the situation.
The difference is that, while Muslims and Latter-day Saints both
believe that the founders of their respective churches were men who
were prophets who brought additional knowledge directly from God,
Latter-day Saints believe that Christ did atone for our sins, while
Muslims see Him as only another prophet.
LOL. Religion is just so funny :)
But sad too.
So much wasted time. So many wasted lives.
