I was hoping this thread would be a bit more active so I'll share my ideas. I can tell you about Mormons and Baptists but that's about it (oh and Jews too if you want cause my cousin is half Jewish). Baptists and Mormons don't get along very well because Baptists think that Mormons do not believe in the same Jesus that is in the Bible. This doesn't make any sense to me cause Mormons read the Bible and all that but whatever.

The main area of dispute between Mormons and Baptists is how a person is saved. Baptists believe that a person is saved by grace through faith alone and nothing else is required. They use Ephesians 2: 8-9. Mormons say a person is saved by grace after all they can do, meaning after they also do good works. They site James 2: 17-18 and 26.

These verses in the Bible seem to contradict each other and from my own experience I would say this is the main point of dispute between Mormons and Baptists.
