The community not of Christ has already implied what you suggest.
In 2002 one of the reports given to the world conference of the Community of Christ was H-8 Interfaith Relations Committee Report.
H-8 Interfaith Relations Committee Report
(H-8) "The most troublesome text for the Christian community regarding other religious traditions is to be found in Acts 4:12. This text makes exclusive claims to salvation through Jesus Christ and him alone. This text has tended to foster prejudice toward not only Jews but all other religious claims as well because of its exclusivity. This text is best understood within the context of the sermon preached by Peter in the company of John and others. It should not be universalized and become a framework for either missional or theological purposes."
