 Latter-day Saints (LDS)
The name unites three themes: (1) the restoration theme, since the term has a New Testament origin; (2) the preparation theme, since the Saints in the latter days anticipate the coming of Christ; and (3) the revelation theme, since the name was received by revelation and recorded in Doctrine and Covenants, section 115.
The phrase "latter days" designates the period leading to the last days and the series of events that will culminate in the reappearance of Christ to all the world.
At the time of Christ and the Apostles, the term "saint" was accepted as a proper name for anyone who was a member of the Church, and was not used as a term of special sanctity as in earlier and later traditions.

 All Saints Day
If you truly believe that praying to the saints is a practice to which we engage and believe that saints go to heaven directly after death, even though in truth there are some verses such as 1 corinthians 15:52 and 1 Corinthians 3:12, and the book of Revelation.
It is not taught by the church to pray "to" saints but has been practiced in the past and this has been misunderstood by Protestants as if it is some kind of Catholic doctrine, it is not.
It is the truth that binds the saints together in heaven as it is on earth.

 Wikipedia: Mormon
The largest Mormon denomination is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its members called Latter-day Saints (LDS).
The LDS Church also notes that the use of the terms "Mormon", "Mormon fundamentalist" and "Mormon dissident" in reference to organizations or groups outside of the LDS Church (especially those that practice polygamy) is a misunderstanding of Mormon theology, in particular the principle of continuous revelation and Priesthood authority.
In a press release from 2001, the LDS Church stated that the word "Mormon" as an adjective in such expressions as "Mormon pioneers", "Mormons" as a noun in reference to members of the church, and "Mormonism" as a doctrine, culture, and lifestyle, were all acceptable.

 Re: Where did Nephi land in the New World?
He was so sure that he could prove the truthfulness of the BOM within ten years by locating sites and dates in Mesoamerica that he convinced President Mckay of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to sponsor his search to the tune $250,000.
Unfortunately, the present –day controversies stemmed from John Taylor who was editor of the Times and seasons newspaper in September 1842 and had made several suggestions about the geography of the BOM that has caused a great deal of controversy.
That revelation came into the hands of the Church Historian twenty years after Joseph Smith was martyred and caused the initial controversy.

Recognizing Spencer W. Kimball as the prophet, seer, and revelator, and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is proposed that we as a constituent assembly accept this revelation as the word and will of the Lord.
A great majority of Latter-day Saints simply attributed this to "Latter-day Revelation" and questioned it no further; however, the timing for such a change is certainly suspect.

 Mormon Church's dietary code
Furthermore, most Latter-day Saints just weren't ready for the "full program" then and many apparently still aren't ready now--and that may include me. I can't say that I fully understand and implement the complete revelation especially in regard to how an ideal plant diet should be prepared and consumed.
While I also agree that the Word of Wisdom probably should not strictly be considered a commandment, what the author failed to examine is that the first three verses of Doctrine and Covenants Section 89 (which chronicles the revelation) were added after it was received (see the heading of Section 89).
They seem threatened if someone points out that the Word of Wisdom advises a limited consumption of meat--a practice few Mormons follow today.

Both New Covenant Christians and Latter Day Saints agree that the Church is established on the rock of revelation, namely the revelation that each person is entitled to, and must have before he or she can become a born-again Christian, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God (Matt.16:16).
Many a poor Latter Day Saint has cried tears of anguish over their inability to meet the requirements of the unjust system established by Brigham Young, living in guilt they need not have; while those who are rich get away with paying almost nothing at all.
It is the congregation or assembly of saints who have forsaken the world by accepting the gospel, a formal society of converted persons and not the unorganized spiritual vagary termed the Christian Church by sectarianism...Those who join the true Church and keep their covenants gain salvation in the celestial kingdom of God (D&C 10:55,69).

 Fulfilled Prophecies of Joseph Smith
If Joseph says, "Gray clouds - looks like rain," and it didn't rain that day, anti-Mormons may howl but Latter-day Saints know that the gift of prophecy does not make every utterance divinely inspired.
What did they have to say to me? They thought it was a Mormon humbug, and laughed me to scorn, and they looked upon that revelation as they do upon all others that God has given in these latter days -- as without divine authority.
However, the most important evidence for Joseph's divine calling as a prophet of Christ is the Book of Mormon, which is why I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
