Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are sometimes called Mormons because in addition to the Bible, we believe in additional scripture. One book of scripture is called the Book of Mormon.he church calls itself The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has never called itself or asked to be called Mormonism.. This was nickname given us by people of other faiths who identified us simply by our use of the Book of Mormon.
