Jesus Christ is not alive in the church, he is alive in heaven. He is the head of the church, which is his body. Every born again believer is baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ at the moment of conversion.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 5:29-30 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church, for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Is a Mormon Church a Christian church?

No, Mormonism is not a reformed church, but a restored church. It has all of the Offices , Priesthoods, Apostles and Prophets as did the church of old.

What is the real name of the church that Jesus built?

Reasoning would suggest that the church Jesus established would be named, Jesus Christ. If the Lord did establish a church then it is reasonable to assume that within the thousands of churches and sects that exist in the world today, there will be one called the Church of Jesus Christ. If one is looking for God's church I suggest you investigate the scripture in the New Testament, Ephesians 4:5: "One Lord, one faith, one baptism,". That should put you on the right track, but take with you humility and leave the blinkers behind.

What are the Mormons also known as today?

Actually, "Mormon" is the nickname. The real name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has been since 1838. Prior to that it was known as The Church of Christ (the new name was chosen to avoid confusion with other churches of the same name). Members of the Church prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS". "Mormon" is a nickname originally given to them by their enemies, mocking their belief in the Book of Mormon. The church has since accepted the name, but encourages use of the official name of the church as a way to demonstrate that their faith is in Jesus Christ, not Mormon.
