1. Mormon Jesus - The spirit-brother of Lucifer (Satan). The son of God the Father (Adam) and Mary through sexual union.
2. Jehovah's Witnesses' Jesus - He is Michael the archangel who incarnated to become Jesus. An inferior "god" while the Father is a superior God. His body dissolved into gaseous form which they call "resurrection."
3. "Oneness" Jesus (e.g., Lord's Recovery, United Pentecostal Church, TD Jakes, Tommy Tenney) - Manifested to be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in different occasions. This is known in church history as the heresy of modalism.
4. Unitarian Jesus (e.g., The Way International, Christian Educational Services) A creature created by the Creator who is the Father.
"For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached." (2Cor. 11:4)
"I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am [the one I claim to be], you will indeed die in your sins." John 8:24
Jesus is the "I Am" (Yahweh) in Exodus 3:14.

What do Jehovah's Witnesses believe about Jesus Christ?
Adherents of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses believe everything the Bible teaches about Jesus, and believe that the Bible is the only inspired infallible Word of God.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus the Son was created by God the Father, and that as a distinct person Jesus serves as God's primary agent. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is much more blessed and powerful than any mere angel, but they also believe that the terms "archangel" and "angel" are not inappropriately applied to Jesus (see 1 Thess 4:16).
There are dozens of Scriptures which plainly show that Jesus is lesser than (and subject to) Almighty Jehovah God the Father. Obviously, all of the authority which Jesus received was delegated to him by Almighty Jehovah (God the Father). Caps are added to some citations below.
(Acts 2:36) God MADE HIM both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you impaled.
(Matthew 28:18) And [the resurrected] Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been GIVEN me in heaven and on the earth.
(John 3:35) The Father loves the Son and has GIVEN all things into his hand.
(Acts 5:31) GOD EXALTED this one as Chief Agent and Savior
(Daniel 7:14) And to him there WERE GIVEN rulership and dignity and kingdom
(Matthew 11:27) All things HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO ME by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son but the Father, neither does anyone fully know the Father but the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.
(Philippians 2:9) For this very reason also GOD EXALTED HIM to a superior position
(1 Peter 3:22) [Jesus] went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers WERE MADE SUBJECT to him.
(1 Corinthians 15:25) For [Jesus] must rule as king until GOD HAS PUT all enemies under his feet.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord [Jesus] is: “Sit... Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
Incidentally, where is Jesus' exhalted position? It is NOT replacing Jehovah God, because Jesus remains humbly at Jehovah's right hand.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
(Ephesians 1:19-20) the mightiness of [God's] strength, with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places
(Acts 7:55,56) [Stephen], being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand, and he said: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.”
(Matthew 26:64) Jesus said to him: “...From henceforth you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power
(Romans 8:34) Christ Jesus is the one who died, yes, rather the one who was raised up from the dead, who is on the right hand of God
(Colossians 3:1) Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
(Hebrews 1:3) [Jesus] sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places.
(Hebrews 8:1) Now as to the things being discussed this is the main point: We have such a high priest as this, and he has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
(Hebrews 10:12) But this man [Jesus] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God,
(Hebrews 12:2) Look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. ...he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(1 Peter 3:22) He [Jesus] is at God’s right hand, for he went his way to heaven

I don't mean to offend, but I'd like to correct your perception of what Mormons believe about Jesus Christ.
1) Yes, we believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers... as are all that are born on this earth... you, me, Mother Theresa, the Pope, Henry the 8th, Jesus, Satan, Moses..... Our spirits are all God's offspring. So much for choice, huh!
2) Jesus is the only begotten of the Father (God, not Adam) in the flesh..... As I stated in 31, our spirits all have the same Father. Our bodies on the other hand... well, hopefully, we all understand basic biology. Jesus was a special case- His body was the product of Mary and God- Through the power of the Holy Spirit (not a sexual encounter), Mary conceived and gave birth to a son, while still a virgin in the most basic sense.
3) There is much confusion about President Brigham Young's statements about the whole God/Adam thing.... I see it this way (as this is how it was explained to me). Pres Young was using the term "Adam" as a title. Used as a title, or a descriptive term, "an Adam" would be the father or the first of any group. In this sense (confusing as it may be), God could be considered as an Adam to us- He is our Father, and the first being we knew. Adam (first man, whose creation is recorded in Genesis, husband to Eve) is not God the Father, Creator of all.
A few more things- Yes we believe that Jesus and His Father are two separate and distinct beings. The way I see it, the Bible isn't exactly clear on this- there are many passages to support both, so I won't any to argue the point. I will say that God has given us a way to know the truth- Prayer. God will give us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding if we are willing to accept whatever answer He gives.
God the Father gave us all we have- the two greatest gifts being life, and the ability to choose what to do with it.
Jesus Christ gave us the opportunity to return to Father again. Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer. He has given us the opportunity to become perfected and worthy to return to God's presence (no unclean thing can enter His presence).
Thanks for the opportunity to explain my belief.

Yes, this is what I believe about Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God who took on flesh and dwelt on earth. He was sinlessly perfect and gave Himself as a substitutionary sacrifice by shedding His blood and dying on the cross. He then came back from the dead. This was to pay for all sins (past, present, future) for all who believe. (II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 2:9; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 10:10-14; Hebrews 9:12-28; Acts 13:38-41; I Peter 2:24; I John 3:5)

Yes I know Jesus actually, met him some 40 years ago. People meet him everyday. Not bad for a sinless man who died for the sins of the world and then rose back to life. Considering that millions state the same one could not discount the fact that he is alive and well. More over one only needs to search the government records to find that there is vast none religious records of his existence. As far as who Jesus is. That is so simple he is God in the flesh. He is God son and he is God. He exist in three separate forms. God the Son (redeemer), God the Father (Almighty judge) and God the ( Holy Spirit) refiner. All 3 have there own identity but all three are equally God.
Some find this confusing. But may i remind you that a mans life works like this. We are born as sons be come father and then in our old age give advice. Yet we are one spirit. God is one spirit.

I believe he is the virgin born sinless son of God, I believe he is The Word made flesh, I believe he created all things by his hand and without him nothing was made. I believe that he is the father and the father is him. I believe he resides in the heart of the believer in the person of the holy spirit. I believe he was born into this world for a single purpose and that purpose was to pay the sin debt of all mankind. I believe he accomplished that work in three acts, 1.)Becoming sin upon the cross and dieing as a sacrifice for sin 2.) he was burried in a borrowed grave where never a man lay,3.) He arose the third day ensuring eternal life for the believer.
Thats just a small list, my hands are cramping..:)

In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asks, “Whom say ye that I am?” Peter answers, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and for this answer Peter is called “blessed.” In 2 John 9, we read, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” In other words, Jesus Christ and His work of redemption is of utmost importance; beware anyone who denies that Jesus is equal with God, who downplays Jesus’ substitutionary death, or who rejects Jesus’ humanity. First John 2:22 says, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

I believe he was a Rabbi who was born between 4-8 A.D.. I believe he was a good public speaker, and had a talent for influencing others. I believe his story was blown out of proportion, and he was only meant to be a minor Pharisee theologian. He suffered from delusions of grandeur. This is a very common Jewish trait.
