Yes, I believe that some do; but I've never read GBH saying that he believes Christ is God, or that Mormonism believes Christ is God. And Mormonism does teach that Jesus is mankind's older "spiritual" brother (not quite sure how to word that). I thnk it is these odd beliefs that get many other denominations bent on converting Mormons.

Maureen,
It is a central tenet of the gospel. I can't imagine that there is a single educated Mormon anywhere that does not believe that Christ is God:
"Latter-day Saints believe in God the Father; his Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Ghost (A of F 1). These three Gods form the Godhead, which holds the keys of power over the universe. Each member of the Godhead is an independent personage, separate and distinct from the other two, the three being in perfect unity and harmony with each other (AF, chap. 2)." Encyclopedia of Mormonism
He is God the Son and not God the Father. Actually is also the Father is term of a title for the role he has filled but he is not ontologically the same as the/his Father.
