Of course not. When I came to know Christ as my savior, I came into a relationship with God that guaranteed me eternal life. As John 3:36 said, He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life. A later lack of belief cannot take away eternal life previously granted by God, because if he could, you would never have had eternal life. Since God isn't a teenage girl, his mind won't change seaonally as the hemline drops. In short, once saved, always saved. This makes sense, because salvation does not come from works but through God's mercy. Titus 3:5. Grace saves us not our own acts. Ephesians 2:8,9. So in a sense, Christians who teach otherwise are terrorists who seek to scare you into adhering to their own code of behavior.
I was saved when I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart at 15 and was babtised. My subsequent loss of belief such that I am now an atheist (or more accurately, an agnostic) is irrelevant to my state of salvation.
