There is but one God and he has always been God. He had no parents and He didn't grow up. God as Christ Jesus did come down to live in this world to Save those who place their trust in Him.


Yes, You got that right since the Book of Mormon states that God is Christ.
Here is 2nd Nephi Chapter 11, verse seven:

2 Nephi 11:7:

[7] For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.

So, you're a bit of a religious floozy....

What would you class as 'independent'?
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

A church which places Christ as the head of that church family and not be entangled with other authorities outside that local church family as a controlling force... In other words, outsiders do not send pastoral candidates, choose hymnals, select Bible versions, dictate what will be taught and what will not, etc....

Outsiders? Like evil aliens?

Sounds very isolationist to me.
Also, who get's to decide which version of Christ is adopted?

Not at all. Fundamentalists support Liberty University, Dallas Theological Seminary, Philadelphia Biblical University ---- among many others. We are united in Jesus Christ (our Prophet, Priest, and King) and not by human authority. The Bible is our authority and nothing contrary.
