That would include repenting from following a pedophile, an evil false prophet! Read the Old Testament to see how God dealt with those who follow false prophets.

So LDS doctrine is that Christ is the basis of salvation. Without Him, we'd have no atonement and thus no chance of being saved from sins that we commit. By obeying His commandments, including the commandment to repent when we fail to obey His other commandments, we have His promise of salvation. That promise is something we can depend on, because Christ never breaks His promises.
But if you have the wrong Christ (as Mormons do), you might as well be believing in Buddha! Jesus is not your equal, He is God! He is not Lucifer's brother, He created Lucifer. He is not some sexually procreated spirit by a polygamous god and one of his wives - He is eternally God, without beginning or end, and always was God.
