One of the Articles of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) says, "We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam's transgression."
Mormons believe that because Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, mankind became subject to sin and death. Therefore, all mankind has need of a Savior, Jesus Christ, to atone for their sins and allow them to enter into the presense of God. Mormons believe that the atoning power of Jesus Christ will cover this transgression of Adam for those who hear and accept it, those who never hear it, and little children who are too young and innocent to understand it. (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 3:11-17) Only those who hear and reject the gospel of Jesus Christ are at risk of not being covered by the atonement of Christ.
This is slightly different from the traditional Calvinist doctrine of Original Sin, which states that men inherit guilt from the sins of Adam and are guilty from the moment of conception.
