When I was 18, my then Catholic dad was 45. He’s 80 this year. He’s been a non-Catholic Christian since age 45, and teaches a faithful Bible class in a small church in the Sierra Mts. He testifies that he got in to the Body of Christ at age 45. You would say, what? He was cut off from Christ?

hmmm... what would I, personally say? I don't know enough about your Dad, his beliefs or the beliefs of the group he belongs to for me to make any valid statements about his presence among believers. If he is a member of the Jehovah's witnesses or the Mormons, or any Islamic sect, I can say with clear conscience that yes, he would be cut off from Christ as we know it in the Bible. But, for other Protestant groups, the variety of different and conflicting beliefs is too widespread for me to comment on one that I do not know of.

Repeating again, I will not make a judgement call about anyone being saved or not or cut off from Christ or not unless I know the teachings he believes in. If you are out of The Church, I, personally, can't tell you, unless as I pointed out, you are a Muslim or a Gnostic or somthing, if you are cut off from God.
