Yes, I agree with believe the teaching of Jesus.
Jesus taught a lot of things. Do you have to believe every single one of them to be saved?
And do you have to believe them a particular way? Here's what I mean:
Matthew 5: 18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
I'm sure you've met people here on CC that take this to mean that Jesus taught that we are to keep the law. But other people disagree. Is this a teaching of Jesus that we have to believe in a particular way in order to be saved?
Another example
Mark 16: 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
Have you heard of snake handlers here in the USA? Taking up the snake?
That's not something a person has to believe to be saved, imo. And many people don't actually believe that is a teaching of Jesus, but that it was added later.

Do I always obey His teaching?
No, I want but fail and fail again.
Believe in the sense that Jesus never lie do not mean success to obey.
