mpls ip command will try to form LDP neighbor mpls bgp forwarding does´t doe that.
mpls bgp forwarding will add static host route in your routing label automatically even when you have /24 between your router and the neighboring router it will add your neighbor as /32 host route this is used in the mpls forwarding table because mpls forwarding table expect /32 host route in-order to forward labels correctly.
