Okay, philosophers, sorry for the vanity, but who knows which logical fallacy this one fits?

bifurcation (false dichotomy) occurs if someone presents a situation as having only two alternatives, where in fact other alternatives exist or can exist.

The logical fallacy is plain old ignorance?
There seems to be a lot of that when people start discussing the Bible. (not meaning you- I've just seen plenty of wrong conclusions that stem from a very shallow understanding.)

If there is more than one way to salvation, do not try sneaking in through the fireplace.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;for God hath shown it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,being understood by the things that are made,even his eternal power and Godhead,so that they are without excuse.Romans 1:19,20. I don`t know if this fits the question but is cited as an argument to those who propose that since there are those that have never heard the message of salvation through Jesus Christ how can they be condemned.

The fallacy is non sequitor (it does not follow that...).
B does not follow from A.
C does not follow from A or B.
The sylogism is irrational.

Either/Or, also known as bifurcation. Someone will have identified it by the time this posts though...

The fallacy of 5 or 6 or 7 terms?

Non sequitur would be the closest, but in truth, the problem is that the expression isn't even remotely syllogistic.
