No, he is not. His theology and LDS theology differ in many areas. According to LDS, people pre-exist in the spiritual realm before being born into the physical realm. LDS also believe in the possibility of being re-incarnated. There is a passage in the Bible refering to John the Baptist as Elijah by Jesus, and they claim this indicates he was the re-incarnation of Elijah.

When John the Baptist was asked whether he was Elijah he refused in John 1 19 to 23 but when Jesus disciples asked him who Elijah was he said john was Elijah Matt 17 9 to13 what is this contradiction?
There are many apparent contradictions in the bible that require some contemplation to decipher. This could be one of them. Jesus was not so much talking of the physical return of Elijah when he said that Elijah had returned in John the Baptist. But rather he was talking of the spirit and power of Elijah, as the angel prophesied to Zacharias, John the Baptist's father:17. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. (Luke 1)Additional Answer:The above answer is correct in that John was answering he was not the man, Elijah, come again. But he was in the Elijah-role of preparing the way for Jesus at His 1st coming. In Matthew 17, Jesus is speaking of both the future coming of an Elijah-type before His 2nd Coming and the present John the Baptist in this role at His 1st coming:Matthew 17:11-12New International Version (NIV) 11 Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."Comes and will restore all things is a future event.
