Use of Descriptive Terms
The church is often referred to as a "Bickertonite" and a "Rigdonite" organization. These terms have reference to the church's claim of succession through William Bickerton and Sidney Rigdon. They are correct in their historical significance as applied to the succession of the church; however, use of these terms is discouraged because doing so detracts from the church's claim that the founder of the church is Jesus Christ. The church refers to itself only as "The Church of Jesus Christ", its legal and official name.

Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
