According to Beth Shammai Halakhah, Noahism should be nothing but the first step on the path to joining the greater congregation of Israel. As a result, according to Beth Shammai Halakhah, for those who can, circumcision followed by complete Torah observance should be the goal. These points are in sharp contrast to Beth Hillel Halakhah which does believe in salvation for non-Israelites and makes circumcision the last step in conversion. There has always been a subcurrent of Rabbis who have maintained a tradition that Beth Shammai Halakhah will replace Beth Hillel Halakhah during the messianic era. According to [[Harvey Falk|R. Harvey Falk]], Both Christianity and Islam began as misunderstandings of the Beth Shammai approach.
Liberal approach based on what its opponents have accused as being compromises for synical commercial and social reasons. Assumes that current religions are distorted Bnei Noach faiths. Recognises Saint They postulate that certain early Christian leaders (such as Peter as a teacher of Noahism) were trying to teach Noahidism. This approach is [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Inclusive Position|inclusivist]] & hierarchical and assumes that there are many Noahide faiths. This category includes the teachings of Rabbi [[Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg]], [[Rabbeinu Tam]], the [[Mahzor Vitri]] and more recently Rabbi [[Judah David Eisenstein]].
Conservative approach based in part on teachings rooted in Jewish mysticismbut mostly on the [[Rambam]]. Assumes that current religions are false and obstacles to the emergence of a true noahide faith. Based on the teachings of the [[Arizal]] (who counts 72 nations) and Rambam, exile is a manifestation of the cosmic reality of breakage and evil. The nations are not merely the non-Jews or anti-Israel; they are the same stuff as the evil at the beginning of creation. This leads to the notion that non-Jews have no souls, although this has been modified by the teachings of Rabbi [[Menachem Mendel Schneersohn]]. This approach is [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Exclusive Position|exclusivist]] & metaphysical and assumes that there is only one Noahide faith. This category includes the teachings of Rabbi [[Menachem Mendel Schneersohn]] as well as any other exclusivists quoted by Chabad based Noahide groups.
