The Episcopal Church does not for certain, and neither do some others.
Even the late Billy Graham, an ordained preacher in a denomination whose members often DO proclaim its way to be the only way, encouraged at his rallies Catholics to go their priests, other protestants to go to their ministers and pastors, etc.
The Anglican Communion absolutely does do missionary work, and Episcopalians do believe that their way is the correct way.
I've never once seen a Methodist come to my door to convert me. Not sure where you live that it's common. Just doesn't happen in my area.
I've seen it. My relatives did it. My grandmother was on long-standing committee in our Methodist Church that was not much different than the Catholic's committee for the Propagation Of The Faith.
I get mailings a couple of times a year from the Methodist church 2 miles down the street from me.
OK they are Christians who follow a book and a living prophet that is in direct contradiction with the Bible which states Jesus was the one and only true prophet, so for me personally, that is problematic.
Where does the Bible state that Jesus was the one and only true prophet? Do you not believe Moses, Abraham or Isaiah to have been true prophets?

Clearly, some of these were what one might consider to be "minor prophets." But are you seriously saying that they are all false?

We have never held any of our prophets in higher regard than Jesus. They are prophets, men we believe to have been chosen and called of God. Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God and the sole means by which we may be saved. There's a pretty significant difference between any LDS prophet and Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 1:1-2 "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world."
Bottom line is, if you believe that there is another prophet, he best not contradict what we know to be Scripture.

That's a great rule of thumb. I can't argue with it at all. The Bible does, after all, warn us about "false prophets." Oddly enough, though, it doesn't just warn us of "prophets" in general. Had God wanted us to know that no future prophets could ever be trusted, why didn't He just say so?
