Do Mormons believe in past lives?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that life is eternal - we existed prior to this mortal life and will exist after this mortal life. This is not considered to be multiple lives, but different stages in one life. Mormons believe that all people lived in heaven with God prior to being born on this earth, and that we will return to heaven to live with God again after we die. Mormons do not believe in reincarnation or the idea that you may live multiple lives on earth. The only 'past life' was in heaven with God, and the only 'next life' is in heaven with God (or, for some, in hell with Satan).

Are Mormons considered christains?
It depends on who you ask and how you define what a Christian is. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do consider themselves Christians. They believe that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and that the Bible is the word of God, just like all Christians. Mormons strive to follow the example and teachings of Jesus Christ in their everyday lives. However, many other Christian groups do not accept Mormons as Christians because Mormons do not believe in the Trinity (God in 3 persons). Mormons believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are three individual beings, each sacred, eternal, and perfectly united in purpose. Some Christian groups also reject Mormons as Christian because they believe there is scripture in addition to the Bible and that Jesus Christ leads the Church by speaking to prophets in our modern day.

Does Mormonism fall under Christianity?
This all depends on how you define what a "Christian" is. If you believe that a "Christian" is a follower of Jesus Christ, then yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only way to salvation. Mormons believe that they must accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior in order to be cleansed from their sins and be saved. Mormons believe that the Holy Bible (King James Version) is the sacred word of God and are expected to study it daily. Mormons believe that at baptism, they take upon themselves the name of Jesus Christ and promise to live their lives as an example and witness of Christ. If you believe that a "Christian" must fit into a narrower definition, probably no. Mormons do not believe in the traditional Christian doctrine of the Trinity - that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the same being. Mormons believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate beings perfectly united in their purpose. Mormons also believe that there is additional scripture than the Bible (the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price) and have other beliefs and practices that are not found in mainstream Christianity (such as a modern living prophet, baptism in behalf of the deceased, eternal marriages and families, and pre-mortal life) Mormons do define themselves as Christians, and invite you to learn more about them and decide for yourself if they are Christian or not.
