I am answering this question based on which denominations teaching is so far off it should not even be considered Christian:
JW - LDS - Christian Science - 7th Day Adventist - Scientology - Unitarian - Any group which denies the full Deity of Jesus - any group that does not believe Jesus rose from the dead in His original body
The Roman Catholic Church as the basic truth but its so distorted its very hard to find it which is why most who attend Roman Catholic Churches are not in fact, Christians.
This is also true for most other Protestant groups which baptize babies.
Obviously only God knows for sure who is and who is a real Christian.

It's interesting that you would put "fundies" as a denomination. There is no "fundie" denomination. Within all Christian denominations there are fundamentalists, but then again, within all religions there are fundamentalists that take everything to the extreme.
It is not my place to determine whether a certain denomination is Christian or not. The term Christian generally speaking means "Christ like". Therefore, if they are Christ like, they are Christian.
We will know them by the fruit they produce.
Matthew 7:16,17 "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles. Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit."
I personally am not qualified to be a fruit inspector, but I am qualified to be a harvester.

The Only Way to be saved is through Jesus Christ and the only way is to ask Jesus into your life, asking forgiveness of your sins and repenting, Christians must follow Gods Word, not make up thier own rules, or take out of the Bible parts they don't disagree with, it is all or nothing, denominations anymore don't tell us anything, you have to see who is teaching Gods word, and who is only using Gods name.

Christians believe that Jesus is our Savior and God in the flesh when he walked among men...We believe that the only way to the Father is through accepting what Jesus did on the cross as the sacrifice for your sins....those who do not beleive this are not Christians...

What's an "Ids?" I consider JWs to be this side of a cult, but still Christian, I guess.

I figure if they consider Jesus Christ to be the "Son of God" and that the only way into heaven is to follow him, then they are Christians, regardless of which flavor.

well alot of the penicostal holy-roller women could be the biggest bitches all in the name of god. but I like the gospel churches more than any of them very real and upbeat.I'm an athiest and I'd wouldn't mind visiting, I don't really seereligion as alot of ppl do, everyone has there own beliefs, some are just more simular than others, as long as they respect others it's fine.

I consider everyone who calls themselves Christian to be so.

The Bible clearly tells us that we will know them by their fruits...
I'm no denomination just a Bible believing Christian
