Best Answer

The term "Mormonism" is a misnomer and really should not apply.

Members of the LDS church are properly referred to as "Latter Day Saints" not "Mormons"

Joseph Smith was the first prophet of the present dispensation of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, but it is the Same Gospel that was taught by Jesus Christ when he was on the earth and it is the Same Gospel that was taught to Adam and Eve our first parents.

It is the Church of Jesus Christ, established and presided over by Jesus Christ.

A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") will probably give you one of two answers to this question. They will either say Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith, Jr. Church members believe that Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith and instructed him on how to organize the Church. The Church was officially organized on April 6, 1830 in Palmyra, New York.
