Please check your church history, Ashleyva. Joseph Smith founded a Church which went by many names. It started out simply as the Church of Christ. As the Church evolved, the name evolved as well. The name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the version used by the Church faction led west by Brigham Young. Best Wishes. WBardwin (talk) 19:22, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I think there was a communication error. In The Book Of Mormon, Mosiah 18:17 it states, "And they were called the church of God, or the church of Christ", so before the restoration, it was called the Church of Christ, and Doctrine and Covenants 1:1 says "The rise of the Church of Christ in these last days", because it is the restoration of that same church, but in Doctrine and Covenants section 115 verse 4 it says, "For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." The name of the church that Joseph Smith founded is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" which is a restoration of the church of Christ; the name was given in 1838 by Joseph Smith himself. This is an important point as people have gotten The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints confused with the present day Church of Christ, RLDS, FLDS, and others, some being quite contrary in doctrine. I may have merely misunderstood your wording, but I would greatly appreciate some clarification in this article as it is a confusing point for many people. Thank you.
