The Godhead

There's a most puzzling thread over on the other board about the members of the Godhead. An EV critic claimed that Mormons believe that Michael (Adam) is a member of the Godhead.
Charity responded thus:
The Godhead is Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Michael/Adam. And they aren't the Nicean concept of Trinity.
And Sargon chimed in with this:
Michael being part of the Godhead is not official LDS doctrine. However, it is my personal conclusion that he is probably the Holy Ghost. I would be willing of course to change my mind if the prophet said something to the contrary, but as it stands Michael seems to me to be the best candidate for H.G., and therefore part of the Godhead. Nonetheless, it is not LDS doctrine.
I've never heard anyone even hint at this before. What gives?

adam-god theory from BY. Also, if push came to shove they would likely say the Abraham and Moses were also part of the Godhead as they are now Gods, per D&C.....also"the council of the gods".

This does not fit at all. The Adam-God heresy states Adam is the Father.

Isn't it great how having a living prophet solves doctrinal issues.

I'd LOVE to have them expalin how the Holy Ghost was able to baptise Adam if the Holy Ghost is Adam. (Moses 5:9)
Amazing what some people believe.

How about the same way that Alma baptized himself (Mosiah 18:13-15).

Belial knows of what he speaks.
Here is the celestial hierarchy: Elohim (Great Grandpa); Jehovah (Grandpa); Michael (The Father); Jesus (The Son); Holy Ghost (Savior of a future world); Joseph Smith: the god who will judge all peoples of the last dispensation.

This is so idiotic. Anyone that has been through the Temple and believes this nonsence should be excommunicated on grounds of heresy.

What a cheap shot to make a mockery. Someone gives his off the wall opinion and the RV here uses it as a chance to mock.
Go clean up your own house of 2000 years of theological wrangling, bloodshed and nonsense. Your criticism ring hollow here.

WARNING - the Irony quotient for this thread has just buried the needle on the gage. Gaz, if you keep this up were going to have to engage the overrides and run like hell, fearing for the space-time continuum.
