Answer 1
For the most part they are not named in The Bible. If a Jewish/ Christian believed Gentiles should convert to Judaism he was either corrected quickly as to his false doctrine and repented or else he was just a false preacher/teacher and not a Christian at all and according to the Bible he will end up in the Lake of Fire.
Answer 2
In early Christianity, there was a very fierce debate over whether or not a Gentile should convert to Judaism first before converting to Christianity. This came from the fact that Jesus said that he was looking for the "Lost Sheep of Israel". As the Gentiles were not considered from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, there was a serious question about whether they were intended as well. The dominant opinion became, in less than a century, that Jesus died on the cross for all of humanity, not just former Israelites and so a conversion to Judaism was no longer necessary.
However, because the Judaizers (as they are called) lost the debate, they are not very well known. We do not have exact names.
ANSWER 3. The Apostle Paul (Apostle to the Gentiles) had a dreadful time with false teachings. After Paul and Barnabas had returned from the first missionary journey and were at Antioch there was a conflict over circumcision (Acts 15) and it was finally decided that Paul and Barnabas be sent to Jerusalem about this question. At the Jerusalem Council (about 50 CE) after hearing of the dispute the council issued a decree, see Acts 15:22-29.
This decree was perhaps the most important as it pertained to salvation. "What must a person do to be saved?
It did take some time for the decree to reach many of the churches and it seems that even so the false teachings continued as we see Paul in his letter to the Galatians was full of teachings and warnings against the Law vs grace. We see other warnings in Colossians on Judaizers and Asceticism and other
cults (see Colossians
2:16-23). Peter also in his second letter to the
Pilgrims of the Dispersion had warnings against false teachers (II Peter 2.)

Jewish people were more religious people, they considered themselves as the children of Abrahamand gods on chosen people. The gentiles were not holy .Correction:Jews do not believe that Gentiles are not holy. This is an error. Orthodox Judaism states that Gentiles have a huge advantage over Jews because they only have 7 laws to achieve holiness, whereas Jews have 613.Otherwise, Judaism makes no comments whatsoever on other religious beliefs.
Why different laws for Jews and Gentiles I know Gentiles have Noahide Laws to follow but why dont they have to follow the mitzvot and other complex rules Why do Jews have to do more to get to heaven?
Jews and Gentiles (non-Jews) follow different religions and generally each group does not recognize the validity of the other's religious practices. Although the Christian religions are descended from Judaism, they are not Jewish and do not believe that some of the Jewish practices are correct or necessary, so they don't follow them.There are also Gentiles who are not Christians. These would include Muslims, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and others. Those Gentiles will not have even so called Noahide Laws.Note:"Getting to heaven" is a Christian concept, and is not a Jewish motive for observing the Torah's mitzvot.
Are there Gentiles that love Jews?
Absolutely! There are many Gentiles who are curious and want to learn about Jewish ways of life. Jews always try to be careful who they choose for friends outside of Judaism.

A Gentile is, by definition, a non-Jew, so no. Gentiles can take part in Jewish ritual with the exception of ceasing work on Shabbat which is seen to be a Jewish-exclusive activity.

Did the gentiles have to keep kosher?
In Judaism: Judaism argues that there are certain Divine Laws which apply to Gentiles (Non-Jews), called the Noahide Laws. The Noahide Laws do not contain any requirement for Gentiles to keep kosher, but there is a requirement that Gentiles not consume an animal while it still lives.In Christianity: This was an argument among Christians in the early days of the Church. A minority called Judaizers argued that all of the Old Testament Law was binding on new converts to Christianity and that a person had to convert to Judaism before becoming a Christian. Accordingly, Judaizers argued that the Laws of Kashrut applied to Christians. However, Apostle Paul and the majority of the Christian leadership disagreed holding that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament Law and, therefore, the ritual laws like Kashrut were no longer binding on Christians. Paul's view became the mainstream view as more and more Greeks converted to Christianity and had no intention to become kosher, observe the sabbath, or get circumcised.
