This sounds like Mormonism.
Before I answer your second question...
I eat, sleep, groom myself, work for my food, reproduce, have hair, am curious about alot of things, have a tendency to get into trouble, what am I? This could be me, a cat, a mouse, a dog, a rabbit, etc...
they may coincide with the Bible but that doesn't mean they are talking about the same thing.
No, I do not attend that church.
If you are talking about Mormonism, there are two very major differences that should be considered.
1. In Mormonism, salvation is directly linked to your giving and your works. These are what get you to heaven.
In Christianisty, it is only by the blood and forgiveness of Jesus Christ we can get to heaven. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the father but by Me."
2. Mormons still use a temple which they say is like the temple in the Old Testament. What seems to be forgotton is that Jesus rendered the temple obsolete when He rent the veil in two providing access to Him for any that wanted to come. God used the temple in the OT as a place to dwell among His people, but now it is in our hearts where He dwells if we confess our sins and invite Him to live there The ceremonies that had been performed in the temple were written down for anyone to read. In the Mormon temple, the ceremonies are kept a tight secret.
There are many other items that are opposed to each other, but these are some important ones that should get you thinking.
