I'm going to re-read your comments later, but regarding mentioning extracanonical books... I guess I chose to mention that because one reason some Christians believe that Mormons aren't is because they believe in books other than those that are in the bible. I realize that there's a big difference between the two situations, but I suppose to some extent I'm reaching for arguments here, and that's one of the few I could think of. (I can't write a 750 word paper just saying "Mormons believe that Christ is the savior" over and over.) You still make a good point, though, so I'm gonna work on figuring out how to re-phrase what I wrote.
Also, about the "supposed additional sources" bit... The reason I say supposed is because of the knowledge part. I'm writing this for a non-Mormon audience who doesn't believe that much of what the BoM says is true (and I'm not trying to argue that it is), thus it's a supposed source of knowledge.
