Is a righteous gentile saved?
Lubab:
That is not true. The Torah does have a concept of a rightoeous gentile, and it existed long before the "New Testament" existed.
Noah, for instance was a righteous gentile as there were not Jews yet until Abraham.
ScotcH:
These terms did not refer to the Contemporary Righteous Gentiles... Which are popularly seen today as Evangelicals ? I highly doubt Noah was an Evangelical !! ;)
Shlomo:
ScotcH, please be respectful. This is becoming divisive.
Being a righteous gentile has nothing to do with being or not being evangelical. Being a righteous gentile means living by 7 rules:
1 Prohibition against idolatry
2 Prohibition against blasphemy
3 Prohibition against murder
4 Prohibition against theft
5 Prohibition against sexual immorality
6 Prohibition against eating the limb of a living animal
7 Establish courts of justice

I'm giving you a warning, ScotcH. Please don't try my patience today.
The Ten Commandments were given to the Jewish people (not the gentiles) on Mt. Sinai and are the basis of the 613 commandments we follow in the Torah.
Kananga:
Wasn't Moses's wife Zipporah and father-in-law Yitro, both gentiles, also present at Sinai? ???
