Only Noahites who have taken measures to join the Hebrew nation are considered to be believers.
=مؤمنون=
'''חסידי אומות העולם''' Pious ones of the nations, i.e. Godfearers. Compare with [[Tzadikei Umos HaOlam]] and [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam]].

''Chasidei Umos HaOlam'' is the Hebrew term used by Maimonides in the Laws of Kings 8:11. It is generally translated as "Righteous Gentile". They are the "Observant Noahites".  The term indicates non-Jews who have taken upon themselves the observance of [[Noahide Law]], and do this ''because it was revealed through [[Moshe Rabbenu]]'' as explained by Jewish tradition. According to Maimonides, Chasidei Umos HaOlam are assured a portion in the world to come. This is something that is not assured for the ''[[Chochmei Umos HaOlam]]'' who also observe [[Noahide Law]], but do it for their own rational reasons rather than out of belief in Judaism. No one may be counted among the Hassidei Umot HaOlam unless through a system which was established by the Chazal while the Jubilee was still in effect (i.e. before 135CE).

The Arabic sources refer to them as מו֞מן.

=صابئین=
Non-Jewish Believers who have been granted residence in the Kingdom. 

:They say La ilaha il allah.
:They read Pslams 5 times a day. 
:They prostrate facing the equator.
:They Fast for 30 days in the Tenth month to commemorate the Fast of Adam.
:They observe all of the laws of the Ger Toshav given in the Torah. 

That means they are the [[Brith Noahites]] being the [[Chokhmei Umot HaOlam]] who have taken an oath in front of a recognised beth deen and been granted official residence status/honorary citizenship in the Land of Israel because of their outstanding righteousness among the nations of the world. Only a Tzadik umot ha Olam is an official Ger Toshav. According to Maimonides, the Official Ger Toshav can only exist when the Jubilee law is in place. Messianists disagree with Maimonides.

'''Ger toshav''' (pl. ''geirei toshav'', [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: &#1490;&#1512; &#1514;&#1493;&#1513;&#1489;, Arabic: صبغت الله, Greek: Θεοσεβεια), according to [[Judaism]] and the [[Torah]], is a [[gentile]] who is a "resident alien," that is, one who lives in the [[Land of Israel]] under certain protections of the system, and is considered a righteous gentile.

==Kinds of Ger Toshav==

There are two kinds of Ger Toshav. A formal one is a gentile who has made certain legal statements in a [[Beth Din]] (Jewish rabbinical court). There are three opinions ([[Avodah Zarah]] 64b) as to what those statements promise:<ref>Against this is quoted: ‘Who is a ger toshav? Any [gentile] who takes upon himself in the presence of three chaverim not to worship idols. Such is the statement of R. Meir; but the Sages declare: Any [gentile] who takes upon himself the sheva mitzvot which the sons of Noach undertook; and still others maintain: These do not come within the category of ager toshav; but who is a ger toshav? A proselyte [גר ger, i.e. non-Jew] who eats of animals not ritually slaughtered (nevelos). In other words, he took upon himself to observe all the precepts mentioned in the Torah apart from the prohibition of [eating the flesh of] animals not ritually slaughtered (nevelos). We may leave such a man alone with wine [i.e., he is not considered an idolater].”
</ref>
#To abstain from [[idolatry|idolatrous]] practices.
#To uphold the seven [[Noahide Laws]].
#To uphold all the [[613 Mitzvot]], except for the eating of non-[[Kosher]] meat.
The definition used by all authorities is the second. In all cases, the statement is a formal sign that the gentile is on a righteous path, and as such, they must by law receive certain legal protections and special charity/financial aid from the community.

The second kind of Ger Toshav is an informal one, namely someone who has not sworn anything to a Beth Din (Avodah Zarah 65a). In this case, they are not formally entitled to financial aid by law, but the attitude of a religious Jew to someone who has forgone idolatry is supposed to be much more welcoming (from the perspective of Jewish law) than to someone who has not. Furthermore, the restrictions that pertain to an idolater (in terms of business and doing things that might be aiding idol worship) are forgone.

The procedure has been discontinued since the destruction of the [[Temple in Jerusalem]], and hence, there are no formal ''gerei toshav'' extant today (although it can be argued that a great deal are "informal" ones). Nevertheless, Judaism warmly encourages non-Jews to adhere to the Noahide Laws, and some groups, notably [[Chabad Lubavitch]], have set up classes and networks for gentiles who commit themselves to this legal system. In that sense, it is possible to be a "Jewish gentile".

==Maimonides says not applicable today==

Maimonides held that a  Ger Toshav (Resident Alien) is a legal category of "Noahide" (i.e. a Righteous Gentile)
:"One who accepts these [basic laws] is called: Ger Toshav in every place. It is necessary to receive him in front of three Torah Scholars." (Melachim 8:10) 

But he also states that this category is not applicable during the times of Jewish exile: 
:"And if he accepted upon himself the seven mitzvos, then he is a ger toshav, but we do not accept gerei toshav except when the Jubilee is observed, but when there is no Jubilee we accept only righteous." (Avodah Zara 10:6)

Maimonides held that the Ger Toshav status is only applicable during a time when the 12 Jewish Tribes are ingathered and settled in their Biblically assigned territories. (In such times, the Yovel, or "Jubilee," years are able to be observed by the Jews - see Lev. 25:8-13.) Under these conditions, which will not return until the Messianic Redemption, by Torah Law a Gentile will be allowed to settle as a resident in the Holy Land if he/she appears before a Jewish court (Beis Din) and takes an oath before them that he or she will observe the Seven Noahide Laws with proper intent and faith. The court then grants this Gentile the visa status of "Ger Toshav," which includes certain additional legal privileges.

Since the time that the 10 northern Tribes of ancient Israel were exiled and lost, before the destruction of the First Temple, the Yovel years have not been able to be observed, and it is not applicable to have the Ger Toshav status. It will only be possible to again observe the Yovel years and grant the Ger Toshav status after the Messiah comes and brings the True and Complete Redemption, speedily in our days. This will be when the Messiah gathers all the Jews back to Israel, including the Ten Lost Tribes, and identifies the Tribe which each Jew belongs to. Then each Jewish Tribe will reside in the region assigned to it by G-d, as these regions are described in the Torah (see Num. 34:1-15, Deut. 33:22-23, 34:1-4).<ref>This section is partly based on the  Chabad based [http://www.asknoah.org/HTML%5Cq&a_general.html AskNoah.org]</ref>
