Clorfene wrote on the "I get ger" facebook page today:

"One who takes on the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah rejects idolatry, but that person does not automatically take on the true belief in the G-d of Israel. That person cannot keep Shabbat or learn Torah other than the Seven Laws. If that same person takes on belief in the G-d of Israel (without shituf/partnerships), then he is the Noahide Ger who is the Ger in the Gate (Deut. 31:12) and may keep Shabbat and learn everything the Torah has to offer, which is considerable. Look at the verse (Ibid.) and realize that the term Ger Toshav is a red herring. It is a rabbinic construct to deal with goyim during the exile. It is meant for a different person that the righteous Gentile of today who comes to the Torah because of his or her love of Hashem. The correct term is Ger or Noahide Ger or Ger in the Gate. Whenever you see the term Ger Toshav, duck."
