Not at all. Anybody can make a "promise". I can promise to think of you daily, to go to the store on the way home and all kinds of things that when the promise is made, it is made with the best of intentions to do the activity. There is no measurement about whether or not the promise is kept... a promise is just a promise.
"Commitment" is actually carrying out the promise. Commitment is also bigger than just a promise. Commitment involves things you resolve to do without having external pressure. I resolve to lose 10 pounds. I resolve to find a better job. I resolve to attend church regularly. Commitment is what you do when the going gets rough. When the waves are breaking over the bow and you stay the course. Commitment is a measurement of an individual's character.

Not really; with one you promise to commit; with the other, you commit to a promise.
