What do you think of the following idea of the SBC now referring to Mormonism as being the 4th Abrahmaic Religion?
[excerpt] "WASHINGTON Is Mormonism the fourth Abrahamic religion? The head of the Southern Baptist Conventions political arm discussed the idea this week during an interview regarding presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Dr. Richard Land, president of the SBCs Washington-based Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said on the TV show Political Capital with Al Hunt that he considers the Mormon Church to be the fourth Abrahamic religion.
Judaism being the first, Christianity being the second, Islam being the third and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints being the fourth, said the prominent Baptist leader.
Although his consideration of Mormonism being an Abrahamic faith could be seen by some as a promotion of the religion typically considered a cult by Christians, Land clarified that he views Mormonism in the same sense as he looks upon Islam as another religion.
Joseph Smith would play the same character in Mormonism that Muhammad plays in Islam, Land noted, referring to the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, or Mormonism .
Mormonism was formally listed under cults and sects by the Southern Baptist Convention, but was newly categorized among newly developed religions on the North American Mission Board apologetics page.

At least the SBC doesn't list us as a cult now! Progress, I suppose!
