Are Jehovahs Witnesses Saved?
On the basis of one step doctrine have they not believed? If not why?

JW's are an interesting bunch. I don't believe they have any hope with regards to being saved. Why? Well... both Oneness and Trinitarian believers see Jesus as being God. However, Oneness and Trinitarian believers debate on the details as to "how" Jesus was God. JW's deny the deity of Jesus altogether.
That's my opinion.

Re: Are Jehovahs Witnesses Saved?
In faithfulness to the Bible, I have to say, "No, the JW's are not saved."
They are the one group of religious people that I often wonder if I am justified in giving them cold shoulder, justified in not going out of my way to be kind to them, justified in not having a burden to pray or even care for them as people, because of their doctrine.
I have more tolerance for Hindu's and Muslims than for the JW's.
I am probably wrong on some level for this, but if I wasn't interested in being transparent, I wouldn't be posting under my real name.

lol
If they are unsaved and don't understand that Jesus is God... is it not more necessary to love them? Be filled with Jesus and be an extension of Christ when speaking to them.

On the basis of the 3 step doctrine, Mormons believe in repentance, water baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues.
Do you consider mormons saved??

No. And they believe in the gift of tongues, not in the Acts 2:38 experience.

Exactly. I rushed to post that before running off to a meeting and wasn't able to clarify it.

http://www.lds.org/scriptures/gs/tongues-gift-of
.Tongues, Gift of
See also Gifts of the Spirit; Tongue
A gift of the Holy Ghost that allows inspired individuals to speak in, understand, or interpret unfamiliar languages. We believe in the gift of tongues (A of F 1:7).
They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues: Acts 2:4;
He that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God: 1 Cor. 14:1–5, 27–28;
Tongues are for a sign to them that believe not: 1 Cor. 14:22–28;
Then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels:2 Ne. 31:13–14;
Amaleki exhorted all men to believe in the gift of speaking with tongues:Omni 1:25;
It is given to some to speak with tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues  &C 46:24–25; ( 1 Cor. 12:10; Moro. 10:8, 15–16; )
Let the gift of tongues be poured out &C 109:36;
