Often I hear that from many people in response usually in the form of a question ... Mormons believe in Jesus..right?

My response is usually one of.... No. Mormons don't believe in the right Jesus, the Jesus as revealed in the Bible.
Because Mormonism, in many ways, states that people, to some degree, have to contribute to living with heavenly Father.

One example: “The phrase ‘after all we can do’ teaches that effort is required on our part to receive the fullness of the Lord’s grace and be made worthy to dwell with Him.” (True to the Faith, p. 77) The Bible, however, teaches that it is all by God’s grace and that grace and works don’t mix. “And if by grace, then it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more works.” (Romans 11:6)

The Jesus of the Bible revealed this: (John 6:25-28)

"A crowd of people realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him:

'What must we do to do the works God requires?'
Jesus answered, ' The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.' ”

The teachings of Mormonism pose a grave, eternal danger to people – that Mormonism isn’t a path leading to life with heavenly Father but one that leads people to away.
