The Church of Christ tries to follow only the Bible without adding any man-made doctrine and strives to be New Testament Christians. The church of Christ wishes to speak where the Bible speaks, be silent where the Bible is silent, do Bible things in Bible ways, and call Bible things by Bible names. The scripture is sufficient for the doctrine, teaching, correction and reproof, and can thoroughly equip the Christian. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3) There is not one man-made doctrine that needs to be added to improve God’s word.

The Mormons believe the Bible also, but they have additional books that they believe are equal with the Bible. These other books, however, contradict the Bible. The addition of “Another Testament” violates the verses referenced above, Galatians 1:6-9, Jude 3, and many other verses of the Bible. For a more detailed comparison of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, see this question that I have previously answered.

Seventh Day Adventists also believe the Bible, but they do not fully recognize the division between the Old and New Testaments. They still hold that the main day of worship should be on Saturday, the seventh day of the week, the Sabbath. In the New Testament, we see that the church was established on Pentecost. Pentecost was always on the first day of the week. We see that the early Christians met upon the first day of every week. (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:1-2)
The Old Law was fulfilled and nailed to the cross with Christ. (Colossians 2:14, Hebrews 9) Now no man can judge us on the ceremonies of the Old Law, nor based on Sabbath days. (Colossians 2:16).

These are not all of the differences between these three churches, but they highlight the most prominent differences. Open your Bible and compare every church you consider to God’s word. If a doctrine is Biblical, accept it. If a doctrine is not according to the scriptures, reject it.

The Bible does not contradict itself, therefore if two churches contradict each other, at least one of them must be teaching error by contradicting the Bible. Search the Scriptures to see which doctrine is true! (Acts 17:11)

Seventh Day Adventist Mormon

Seventh Day Adventists believe in following a strict vegetarian diet, following much more of the Levitical law than most other Christian groups, observing the Sabbath on Saturday, and that there is what is called "soul sleep", believing that there is not an immortal soul, but only a physical resurrection. Seventh Day Adventists have 14 million members with a -5% growth rate annually.

Church of Christ is not a very specific name. There are several thousand denominations with that name. If you were to specify which one, then I could answer that.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormonism (a name that is held by some as derogatory), believes that instead of trying to repair the distortion to the gospel (known as the Great Apostasy), an actual restoration of Christ's ancient church was needed. A man named Joseph Smith Jr. was called as a prophet of God by Christ himself after Joseph prayed about what church came closest to the truth. He was directed to metallic plates containing what is known as the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the power of God.
Key differences from most Protestant groups include:
-The belief that Jesus Christ himself leads the church by revelation
-Resoration of the priesthood authority described in the Old & New Testaments by the laying on of hands, as Christ directed
-The organizational hierarchy of Christ's true church specifically spelled out by Christ in the New Testament
-Abstention from tobacco, alcohol, tea, and caffeine
-The belief that God again promised to keep a prophet of God on the earth at all times
-The belief in a tripartite heaven, as described in 1 Cor. 15:40-42 and 2 Cor. 12:2
-The building of temples for holy ordinances
-The belief in additional scripture being revealed

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints follows the teachings of Christ and obviously does consider itself to be a Christian church.
Mormons do not deny the cross or the blood atonement.
Because of its emphasis on Jesus' resurrection and his status as the living head of the church, the church places less emphasis on Jesus' crucifixion and does not officially use the symbol of the Christian cross. Instead, the church tends to focus on the belief that Jesus overcame suffering and death and that he lives today with his father in Heaven.

With 4 million members, it is the 4th largest Christian denomination in the US and, like the Seventh Day Adventists, have 14 million members worldwide. However, unlike the SDA's negative growth rate, the LDS church is one of the fastest growing churches worldwide, with over 300,000 new members yearly.

Church of Christ follows the teachings of the Bible and doesn't add to or take away. They attempt to re-create the 1st century church as nearly as possible beliving that since that was the way Jesus started the church, that is the way he wanted it to be. The mormon church added an entire other book to the Bible and practices beliefs that are inconsistent with the teachings of Christ. The seventh day adventists are similar to the Church of Christ in the fact that they try to follow the written word, however they have several practices that are inconsistent with the Bible which a cause for scrutiny on the church. If you look up all three churches on Wikipedia, you'll begin to get a better understanding of each.

The LDS Church (Mormons) have the gift of the Holy Ghost and Priesthood authority to act in God's name. We have a living prophet , and Twelve Apostles who are called of God to lead His Church in these latter days.

Both really good sights. My advice would be to go to only official websites for all three churches. Otherwise you'll just get hearsay and third party answers

Quite a bit. For starters, SDA and COC are Christian. Mormons are not. Mormons deny the cross and blood atonement and have beliefs that go far beyond what Scripture teaches.

SDA's have a bad tendency to teach that we still are under the law and the Bible refutes that notion over and over.

Church of Christ, with whom Im a member, is a simple Bible believing NT church. Our motto is "no creed but Christ."

Matt lied....Mormons do not deny the cross of Jesus.

We believe in the atonement of Jesus he died for our sins and rose on the third day in his own body.
