Mormons believe in the crucifixion, resurrection and divinity of Jesus Christ. Followers claim that God sent more prophets after Jesus's death. They say that the original church has been restored in modern times.

More on this, the Revelations made by Smith and, later, other founders were based off of certain spiritual experiences and encounters. These experiences are still occurring to this day with some being under heavy scrutiny and controversy. Good additional information @Lemondragon555.
