So what do you call the set of those beliefs in regard to worshipping the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

There's the TRUTH, and then there's religion. You pick which one is authentic.

Christianity is a religion by definition. The Torah is truth (Psalm 119:142) and Jesus embodied the Torah by setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to it, so he is the truth (John 14:6), but mainstream Christianity is opposed to following Christ's example of obedience to it. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand and the Torah was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of believing the Gospel message. In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so the way to believe in the Gospel that Jesus spent his ministry teaching and in what he accomplished through the cross is by repenting and becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to the Torah (Acts 21:20), but again mainstream Christianity is opposed to this.

Nah... you're adding your own ideas to Scripture. Lord Jesus nailed the old covenant to His cross.

Heb 10:1-24
10 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O God.
8 Above when He said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin Thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said He, Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God.
He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.
14
For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that He had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful That promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
KJV

Where did I say anything that wasn't in accordance with those verses?
When you insinuate that if we don't keep God's law then we can't be saved, that is not in accordance with New Testament Scripture.
Someone who abuses 1 Timothy 1 in order to justify their freedom to be an ungodly sinner thereby becomes someone that the Law of God is for.

When a servant of Jesus Christ stops listening to The Holy Spirit, and breaks God's law, that is because of their listening to their flesh wants and desires, something that even YOU cannot be perfect in. So don't be a hypocrite. It is impossible for us to be perfect in keeping God's law, otherwise we would not need Lord Jesus Christ's sacrifice on His cross for the remission of sins.

Furthermore, Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 1 was quoting from God's law as part of Christianity, of which many of God's laws are still in effect in western society. But The Holy Spirit is how the Christian is in tune with God's laws, like Apostle Paul also taught, like in Galatians 5 when he said IF... we walk by The Spirit, then God's law has no affect on us, for there is no law against doing the good things of The Spirit.

Thus you preach Torah; Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles preached The Holy Spirit Which only comes by Faith on Jesus Christ. This only comes by the 'new birth', i.e., being "born again" of The Spirit (John 3).
