Which is the correct name of our church?

[Guest Scott]

I was just reading up on our church history and stumbled upon something interesting.   

Without cheating, how many people actually know the correct name of our church?

There is only one correct answer and it actually is important because each of the choices given is the name of a church (or churches) and only one is the name of our church.  

Don't feel bad if you don't know the answer because I am guessing that a large percentage of members don't know the correct answer.

Punctuation.  It saves lives (and apparently, souls).

I didn't know the name of the Church was up for a vote.

[Guest Scott]

For those interested, the name wasn't changed or standardized to be grammatically correct.  

The  current name was standardized in 1851 in Utah.

The reason was that one or more of the names above (including the one in Joseph Smith's 1838 revelation) were considered public domain and was used by other churches such as James Strang's group and the Reorganized Church under Joseph Smith III.  Our Church filed copyright on the current name, but to do so it had to be different from names other churches were also already using.

You neglected at least one other rightful choice

I hope the point is clear.

4th - THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS - that is what is on the website.

I dunno Just_A_Guy.  You say punctuation, which I agree, however I also feel that we need to look at the definitions.  I think that "The Church of Jesus Christ of the Better-Late-Than-Never Saints" spells it out more clearly, myself.
