The Bible teaches that Church is the Body of Christ on earth. One cannot be in Christ and simultaneously reject His Body. If the branch is separated from the vine, it dies.

I wonder if Anne Rice was ever truly in Christ. In retrospect her conversion seems more like an emotional exercise, a celebrity faith "experiment" or a vain attempt to recapture something she lost in her childhood. The "Christ" she knows may very well be a figment of her imagination.

jboot, you are making some hasty generalizations I believe. What makes us a member of the Body of Christ? Is it adhering to a specific church’s teachings or is it faith in saving grace and a relation with Jesus? I don’t plan to further discuss/argue with you and especially the athiests on here. But you have judged with certainty someone that you really don’t know.

If you would like to know about Rice, the information is easy to find. I was intrigued after I saw her testimony on iamsecond.com. Then I saw a book at the library she wrote “Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt”. Except for what I assume is Catholic theology about Mary, the book was very good, telling the story from Jesus’ boyhood perspective. Her path to being a Christian was addressed in the prologue I think, of that book. Thank goodness the ultimate judgement is not ours to make, agreed?
