   "Could a Muslim believe in one God and not accept Muhammad as a Messenger of God?  If not, isn't Islam committing shirk by commanding that people believe in God and Muhammad as a means of being saved?"

If I may interject, Muslims MUST believe in all of the Prophets and Messengers of God, not just the Prophet Mohammed. That is a cornerstone of our faith.  Belief in the Prophets and Messengers denotes belief in the Word of God, not divinity of the men who brought us that Word. It would only be shirk if we assigned divinity to these men.
