Not everyone who understands their religious heritage as Christian espouses the concept of the Incarnation.

Unitarians early on saw Jesus as powerful, the ultimate teacher, and the one who was sent by God to teach truth. But Jesus was not considered to be on the same level as God himself.

Latter Day Saints of different denominations hold varying views on the nature of God, some of them downright traditional trinitarian, some of them almost unitarian.

I am far less concerned with the status of Jesus in relation to the nature of God than I am about what I can glean from the teachings of Jesus himself. Other people can argue back and forth till the cows come home about the nature of God. I'm content to read what I can about what Jesus taught during his ministry and go from there.
