If Mormonism is Christianity, North Korea is a democracy.

Its Christology is basically Arian. How is that less any Christian than, say, Jehovah's Witnesses or Oneness Pentecostalism?

Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian, either.  I've never heard of Oneness Pentecostalism, but I would assume they are not, either.

How are Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses not Christian?  Is it just because they created their doctrines and made up their beliefs more recently than other Christian denominations?

They have a very different understanding of who Jesus is than the rest of the Christian denominations. So different that it is really questionable whether they can be considered Christian, as the divinity of Christ is one iof the really big main points of Christianity.

Who died and made you the boss of Christianity?  I don't think it's up to you to decide who qualifies as a Christian and when something is different enough to become a separate religion.  Mormons and JWs believe in the divinity of Jesus and the Christian scriptures.  That seems like enough.  And, it's just rude to tell Mormons and JWs what religion they are.  Let them decide what religion they are for themselves.

So the Jews were in the wrong for telling Christians to get out of their synagogues because they weren't really sons of Abraham?

I don't know what you're referring to.  There's definitely a difference between allowing someone to be a member of your church and allowing them to define what they call their own church.
