Buddhism does not promote such an exclusive path. It requires adherence and acceptance of:

The four noble truths
The Noble Eightfold Path
The Five Precepts
The Dharma Seals

If it "requires adherence and acceptance of" something, then there is exclusivity.

There is a 'rebirth' of sorts...but its quite different that the Christian 'rebirth in Christ' thing.

There is the propagation, not of a person, personality, or soul, but of a set of tendencies to exist. There is the release from suffering, through an egoless, non-grasping attitude of giving up, brought about by extinction without remainder of that set of tendencies to exist. Such can be practiced so that if one finds oneself in a life-threatening situation, say, falling to one's death, one can relinquish one's attempt to hold on to life and, so, at the moment of death, not propagate that grasping desire that characterizes life, which is suffering caused through desire, and become extinct without remainder.

Yeah, that's significantly different from that "'rebirth in Christ' thing" that posits a world peopled by unique individuals whose nature transcends the "material world" and who, primarily because of their own choices, are in such deep crap that they need to be rescued by the very one they're in rebellion against and given a new heart and new life by being made a part of a new creation that has already started within the old and will one day completely replace it, within which they will live forever as those unique individuals, liberated from sin and suffering and evil desires.

Eternal life for the unique person that you are or extinction without remainder of a set of tendencies to exist? Which one of those is good news?
