Jesus said:
"A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
John 13;34-35
An attitude of exclusion where brothers and sisters are sneeringly referred to as "you people" and "your kind" doesn't sound like that love Jesus was speaking about. He was known as a "friend of sinners" and He attracted those who know that they needed Him. The folks back then that hated Jesus were the ones who placed so much emphasis on the "outward" and "the man-made rituals" and emphasized their separation and holiness.
