Let me put the record straight that I totally believe what is mentioned in the Quran and I do believe that the same fact was also in the other kitabs (books of God) i.e. Isa/Jesus (peace be upon him) is a messenger of Allah, similar to other prophets, including Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Musa/Moses (peace be upon him).
And I think this is where my belief is totally different from my Christian friends. I don't believe that Isa/Jesus (peace be upon him) died on the cross because I find it a dicredit to his prophethood. In fact, according to the Bible of Barnabas: "The face of Yehuda who led the soldiers to arrest Christ was transfigured into that of Christ who had been rescued by the Angels through the window to the third Heaven." And this is also confirmed in the Quran. Click here if you want to learn more about this.
