    LDS Christians agree with almost all of this. There are consequences for Adam’s fall. We all have the inclination for sin. But a newborn has no guilt from Adam ‘s actions

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    1 Cor 15:22 is reffering to physical death, and yes all men do that, including Christ. Ps 51:5 is a Psalm, poetic language. Not to be literally interpreted.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Don't even get me started on these questioners and what I find to be downright un Christian behavior (straw man arguments, logical fallicies, disrespect, edited cuts, etc).

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    So this question is a different subject: about man becoming like God. And the short answer to your question is: yes, through the power of Christ's atonement, God is able to redeem His children and they become joint-heirs with Christ. For a longer answer, I would have actually refered you to...

    Effectiveness of the 'sinners' prayer'.

    Coming to the Lord, surrendering your sins, and accepting Hm is the most important thing a person can do. But, that one moment not the only thing involved in being His disciple. And we shouldn't put so much focus on that moment as the never talk about rest of the Christian life.
