There has not been, is not, and is not foreseen that there will be any further exceptions. One can learn of Jesus and accept Him either in this life, in an alternate state of existence for those who while in natural life had no opportunity to commit sins of thought, word, or deed or in the case of those without knowledge of Jesus, but have culpability for sin in human form, during a process of purification following death. One can only become a disciple by positive decision following a learning process. The exercise of personal rational choice is necessary for salvation. Spiritual values require spiritual wisdom.
Wisdom requires the acceptance of positive understood knowledge obtained by being open to truth.
Being made a passive member of the Church does not make one an active member of the body of Christ. Incarnated with eternal knowledge and love of God the Father, Jesus came into the world with baptism of the spirit . He had only to acquire human experience and be brought to a worthy age for priestly ministry. Jesus received the water baptism of John as a public sign of His dedication to God the Father. The sign of His spiritual approval confirmation for loyalty to and love of God the Father came when the Holy Spirit descended upon Him.
