Mormons claim to be Christians; some Christians disagree.

Neither Bahai nor Moslems claim that Bahai are Moslems, and neither
Moslems nor Jews claim that Moslems are Jews.

One of the more interesting questions is how to classify groups like
Jews for Jesus.  They claim to be Jews, but Jews almost universally
deny them membership in the club, and there is a definite core
theological clash.
