Well he has other impressive powers in the movie like being able to telepathically read not just surface thoughts but deeply private ones, and he was able to render Rey unconscious with a gesture.
When he would be able to do that to a fully-trained Jedi, let me know.

No.
Dominating virtually defenseless individuals is not impressive in my books. He still has a long way to go.
Check the showings of Satele Shan and Darth Malgus in the Hope cinematic and compare them with the showings of Kylo Ren and Rey in a battle; you will clearly notice a massive gap in the capabilities of both camps as of Episode 7.
