I believe that Jesus was addressing the disciples' heart and attitude. I don't believe that He was making a point of condoning ministries or groups of disciples other than His own.
And this goes along with something I'm realizing more and more--that in matters of Christian faith, the most important thing is usually the heart-attitude and not whatever "issue" is at hand.
