Belief In Jesus, Moses, or Muhammad isn't enough, as Scripture states the good tidings (of eternal deliverance) are not for Jews, Christians, or Muslims; rather, they are reserved for the meek, and the humble
The Holy Scripture shows that king Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged the God of the Hebrews to be “the King of kings”; in other words, he acknowledge Him as the Supreme God (“... Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings... ”- Daniel 2: 47).
In addition, Scripture states that king Nebuchadnezzar bowed down and honored Daniel, thereby recognizing him as God's anointed messenger (“... Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshiped Daniel... ”- Daniel 2: 46).
But, if Nebuchadnezzar had actually confessed the Lord, and if he had also honored [and recognized] Daniel as God's anointed messenger, why was God still angry with Nebuchadnezzar? (“... this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field... ”- Daniel 4: 24-25).
The reason for God's anger was that Nebuchadnezzar thought that the God of the Jews was similar to any other flawed human king; that He wasn't really interested in ruling with humility, mercy, and justice; but was rather obsessed with receiving all the glory, the praise and the honor He could possibly get from His subject (or creatures).
Thus, while acknowledging God and His prophet, Nebuchadnezzar still was a wicked and cruel man; and that's why prophet Daniel had to ask him to redeem his sins by doing righteousness, and by showing mercy to the poor (“.. break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor”- Daniel 4: 27).
God was angry with Nebuchadnezzar because the latter still harbored inside his heart the selfish pride and arrogance that angers the Creator (“Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished”- Proverbs 16: 5).
Thus, even though he confessed the one true God, as well as God's anointed messenger, Nebuchadnezzar wasn't delivered until he finally renounced to his pride, in order to become a meek and humble individual (“the Most High God gave sovereignty, greatness, glory, and majesty to your predecessor Nebuchadnezzar... But when his heart was exalted and his spirit became arrogant, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken from him... until he [humbled himself, and... ] acknowledged that the Most High God is ruler over human kingdoms and sets anyone he wants over them”- Daniel 5: 18).
Thus, Scripture teaches us that it isn't enough for the Hebrews to believe in God, and in His servant Moses; nor is it enough for Christians to believe in the Heavenly Father, as well as in the messianic claims of Jesus; neither is it enough for Muslims to believe in God, as well as in the prophetic claims of Muhammad- they all have to validate their confession renouncing to their pride, their arrogance, and their self exaltation [in other words, embracing a lifestyle of meekness, and humility].
And this is why Scripture states that “the good tidings” [of deliverance from all sort of bondage] are not for those who have the right amount of faith [and thereby can perform miracles]; nor is it for those who belong to the right ethnicity (Jew or Gentile); nor is it for those who have the correct theology (Jew, Christian, Muslim, etc).
The good tidings are for the meek, as it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound... ”- Isaiah 61: 1.
But, why are the meek and brokenhearted so dear to the Lord? They are so dear because the proud and arrogant cannot do God's will, which is no other than to renounce to evil and self exaltation, in order to do good [showing justice, mercy, and humility].
As it is written: “But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight... ”- Jeremiah 9: 24; and also says in another place:
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? ”- Micah 6: 8
