"Thus the verse "no man comes to the Father" does not imply that a particular formula for accepting Christ is the only way. "

John 3 16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His (25) only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Also not exclusive. Some hear the truth and believe, some hear the truth and reject it (they have "not believed"). There is a possible third category of those who have not heard and do not "believe or disbelieve". Like it or not, David fell into that category. He certainly WOULD HAVE believed in Jesus (and I'm sure right after the crucifiction he got his chance). But he didn't at the time.

You have also opened WIDE the door of what constitutes "belief in Jesus" since men who had never heard the name get full credit.
