Christ never made believing He is God a requirement for being a member of His Church. Why would men?

John 8:24
This is why I told you that you would die in your sins. If you don’t believe that I Am, you will die in your sins.”

[Bobsvainbabblings]

When you put that in context Jesus is telling them He is the One sent by God, their Messiah, not God. 

I believe He is my Messiah so that scripture does not pertain to me. It might pertain to you if you don't think He is your Messiah.

Thank you for your concern, BVB
