Believing in God is having a testimony of him (that faith is involved here goes without saying, but to say it, we are commanded to have faith), and we are supposed to live the commandments perfectly. Not that we do, and the Lord understands when we fail to live up to his commands as he would have us but the requirement is there.

Doubt is of the devil, it is a sin. It is an extremely common one that tends to exist in all of us to one degree or another but that does not change it's nature. Doubt in God is not of him. Obviously we have a fundamental difference of opinion as it pertains to requirements of believing in and having faith in God.
