Matthew 8:5-13
This passage tells the tale of absolute belief. The centurion could be anyone of any faith, and saw in Jesus a superior authority. The centurion thought so much of his slave that he asked Jesus for help. Jesus recognized this centurion as a true believer.
He understood there would be many people of different beliefs and backgrounds that would be welcome in the Kingdom of Heaven. There would also be some of his own people that would be cast out of the Kingdom due to suspect beliefs.
The Kingdom of Heaven is open to all true believers.
