You are not saved just because you accepted Jesus as your savior. Jesus did not save us on the cross, but redeemed us so when can have a chance to be saved. We have to to earn the grace of God. We will only know if we are saved after death.
You cannot be saved if you continue commiting serious sin. The Bible does not teach "once saved always saved." :
Romans 6:15-16 says that sin leads to death
Matthew 5:27-30 Jesus does not discharge us from the moral law! There is consequence for sinning!
Matthew 10:22 "You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved."
Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us."
