I want you to give me a concrete example of your theological position on this.
I tried to make one for you.
I have read the OP but I think you make a few mistakes there... particularly that the Old Testament prophets and the house of Israel didn't know of Christ and such is comparable to the gentile nations of the earth. There is a significant difference in that they were taught of the coming of Christ. That was what the Law of Moses was all about. The preparation and the anticipation of the coming of the son of man. They knew of Christ and therefore have the sufficient knowledge to attain salvation based on the teachings given by Paul.
I want an example of a person not belonging to the house of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that were never taught the gospel.. your quote in the OP states that God is revealed through his creation... Now how is that possible? A god, yes... the ancients was quite superstitious - but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? more particularly the coming of the son of man? How is that self evident given the nature around us? Take away the OT and the NT... are you seriously suggesting that This god of Israel is revealed to us through his creation - the nature around us, the sky above and the lights filling it? I would propose that without the Bible, you have nothing... no evidence.
Hence those who never came into contact with the Bible --- how would they come to the knowledge of these things?
alot of questions in there, I do aploigize but could you just number and ask the questions.

2] etc
I dont want to confuse your questions so for me could you please ask in list form. They sound like great questions.
