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:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
