Was Noah saved by faith alone? Or was Noah required to believe first then act on that belief?
Would another person have been saved if he had created the exact same ark as Noah without belief in God?

Originally posted by @eladarNoah was saved because he believed god when god instructed him to build the ark to avoid a flood that was coming. So he built it and didn't drown. God spoke to him because god saw him as living a righteous life. So he was righteous before god first and then believed.

However I have no idea how he new to be righteous or what righteous living even was. So I assume he was given instruction which he believed.
Therefore the sequence was faith/believing, acting, then more faith. I think this aligns with scripture "faith comes through hearing the word".

The answer to your second question is probably not.

Originally posted by @eladarYes, that is biblically supported (Romans etc) and would seem to answer Dive's question 'how he knew to be righteous or what righteous living even was.'
Anyone interested in the questions I posed,especially the second one?
It seems to me that Noah had God's truth written on his heart.

I've just made a perfectly on topic comment, is there a reason why you are ignoring it?
