Romans 10:8 (KJV) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John 11:25 (KJV) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

no, your salvation is not guaranteed that way, your salvation is guaranteed by your faith in Jesus Christ nad believing that he is the one who came down onto earth to save us from our sins. follow his ways with all your heart, and let the holy spirit fill you. your not judged on the basis of your good deeds but the love of your heart for Jesus, the Saviour of the world.
