"Why do you assume I don't believe Him here?"

Doesn't your belief that others can come to the Father apart from Christ say that you do not believe Jesus?

What about the pre-NT Jews? They fall into "no man comes unto the Father but through Me", but not into the "faith in Jesus Christ" camp. So, no, that verse (in itself) does not exclude the much debated pygmies in africa... IF any of them come to the Father (perhaps by the result of the "law that is written on their hearts"), this verse says it would STILL be because of Jesus.

No. I didn't pay enough attention to your two part question. I believe there is more than one path to salvation. That is, outside of Christianity. I don't believe it is necessary to accept the Trinity.

I can believe every word Jesus says and still believe it isn't necessary to believe He is God.
