How is Christianity exclusionary? Any human is welcome to join and accept its teaching. Everyone is perfectly free to reject it.

Their are a GREAT DEAL of real christians that do NOT believe that one must accept Jesus as their personal savior to be saved. LOL--you just make it up as you go??? Acts 11:26b The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. the term Christian itself implies that one is a follower of Jesus THE CHRIST ie MESSIAH. A Christian is an adherent of Christ; one committed to Christ; a follower of Christ.NO Christian will tell you there are many paths to eternity with God. There is ONE. He is called Jesus. Acts 2: 34-39 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."' "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call." And only by YOUR choice can Jesus as Savior be called "exclusionism" as you say. YOUR choice. ACTS 4: 8- 12 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is "'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
