Knowing, not accepting Jesus as Lord and God come in the flesh for sinful men is a total rejection of Christ. Merely accepting Him as an apostle and prophet (which He WASNT anyway) is not "better", its worse, because it demotes Him to mere mortal status. And as for "Allah" quoting OT verses, even Satan can quote Scripture for his own purposes

Neither the Bible nor Jesus claimed that He is God.

The OT does hold the way to salvation; it points the way to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. NO ONE said that His preaching was of no value.

Which church gives paramount importance to the words and life of Christ?

Jesus' only mission on earth was to die for our sins. And keeping God's commandments doesnt save us as if our good works are all we need to be saved. Because We are all born sinners Jesus Christ because that Paschal lamb, taking the sins of the world upon His shoulders and died for us.

No, not to simply die. He is the life, way and the truth.  Without cultivating the fruit of the Spirit, salvation is lost even with belief: John 15:2

Ephesians 2
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

God in His great wisdom has given not just one but four books on the preaching of Jesus for understanding Jesus from four different directions, so to say. I am not a follower of Jesus since I don't fit into His definition of a disciple. I still don't have the courage to give up all and follow Him. I am just an humble believer.

If you are not a follower of Jesus then why did you choose to be baptized?

I am trying to follow the commandments to the extent possible. Baptism doesn't make one a follower.

No it doesn't.  I still don't understand why you care about following the commandments if you are not a follower of Jesus?  Following the commandments will not save you. Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to say.  Please forgive me if I am misunderstanding you.

Do we qualify for this:

Luke 14
26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

33 So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.

Have fun with that one..

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
(Jas 2:10)
 

I think the better route is to confess ourselves as law breakers and then embrace Jesus who fulfilled all righteousness in our place..

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 
(Rom 5:19)
 

Are we obedient to all the commandments of Jesus?
