It seems to me that Jesus was not interested in exclusivity in his teachings.

Matthew 7:13
 Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14  Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.

Yeah; I always wondered about THIS:

 
 
Matthew 15:21-28
 21.  Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
 22.  A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession."
 23.  Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."
 24.  He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." 
 25.  The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said.
 26.  He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
 27.  "Yes, Lord," she said, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
 28.  Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
