I know a few religions who will classify other religions as not being christian. For many years some religions classified The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints( or nicknamed Mormons) and classified them not christians. Yet in all their scriptures all point to believing in Christ

Some also say this in part to the Jehovah Witnesses as well.

Well in those cases, they don't believe that Jesus was God. If you talk to any Jehova's Witness, they'll tell you Jesus was A god, not THE God. That is probably a big reason why they are not considered Christian by others.
Actually I used to be a mormon, and you are just splitting hairs. Mormons are christian based on the definition linked above. To Mormons, Jesus is the Son of God, equally in authority and power and one with His Father. They view the three members of the "godhead" - Father, Son, Holy Ghost as three gods in one - very similar to the trinity, but you are right there are differences. They believe themselves to be christian, profess faith in Christ and to me that makes them christian.
