There is no evidence Noah preached to the unsaved in Genesis 6 or 7...
There is only this reference in 2 Peter that can be interpreted in various ways ...
2 Peter 2:5 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5: And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.
I guess one can say that the ark itself was a testament .... of what was going to happen ... I'm sure he got questioned about it.

Good point, MFBlume.
I guess that's where we make the translation that he "preached to the ungodly while he was building the ark".

But it can be interpreted that he was a model of the just/righteous. See Hebrews 11.
7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Another excellent point. Good discussion.

A model certainly preaches through lifestyle.

All I know is that Evan Almighty just built an ark.
It wasn't until the dam broke that he started "preaching."
