You should specify which movement(s) you're asking about; perhaps there's a difference.
The general rule is that if you're born Jewish, you remain so, and you can always return to your roots (as many young people have been doing in the last four decades). Jews who strayed and then return are able to become part of the normative Jewish community.
However, those who go over to other movements and make no effort to return, have a historical tendency to go lost eventually: this happened to many of the Ten Tribes (those who dabbled in idolatry), the Sadducees, the Essenes, the followers of the false messiah Shabbetai Zevi (in the 1600s) - and some other groups too.
