I have been baptized, confessed my sins, and believed that Jesus is my savior. But I am always thinking I don't do enough spiritual deeds and that stuff so is this a sure thing that I will burn in the lake of fire?

no one can answer whether you will go to Heaven or not......it's not possible to know.

If you don't go to heaven, you'll be in good company!
Please don't worry about that now - life's so short!
All you can do is try to be a good person and remember that God made you the way you are. If He wanted you to do more 'spiritual deeds and stuff', he'd have made you that way in the first place!

You shouldn't worry about trying to do good deeds. I'm not saying that you should stop completely just dont base everything around that. God doesnt look at what youve done but how much youve grown (and of course at your heart and soul). Sometimes the littlest things can be counted as good deeds such as praying everyday, thanking your food and water, or even appreciating nature after all they are God's creations and art. What artist doesnt like his masterpieces to be loved and appreciated. I believe it was Martin Luther who said something like "You will be saved by faith and not by good deeds". Also theres no such thing as hell but those are my beliefs obviously you do.

the amount of spiritual deeds done has nothing to do with salvation. you have accepted Jesus by baptism and regular belief, this leads to salvation. now you must continue to show that belief through you actions. there is not an "amount" that will get you into heaven, but it is in the intentions of your heart that will guide you into salvation. By saying you have faith but not actting on it, is not true faith. the works you do are to reflect the faith that you have. As long as you have faith, and do your best to live in harmony with the teachings, then salvation will be yours.

Salvation is by grace through faith.
Good works follow our faith as a matter of course due to compassion and empathy. But in and of themselves, our works are an outward manifestation of our faith, not of our salvation.
Romans 10:9 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.

That is between you and your Father in Heaven...You have to go before Him and ask this question and you have to believe that you are saved by the Grace that Jesus gave to us all...You need to live a life for your Father...If you doubt then go to Him,,I am sure He will show you,,if you are willing...

Spiritual deeds ?? Do you witness to others ? Tithe or more ? I hope you confess your sins to God and not to a human being ( who is a sinner also )Read Ephesians 2:8,9

If you live your entire life in fear of death, they you are already dead. If you live your life trying to avoid eternal punishment, then you are punishing yourself. Believe what you choose to believe, not because you HAVE TO (or else go to hell) but because even if you knew you were going to a very bad place you would still believe it.
Only THAT kind of belief, genuine and free from guilt, is true belief. The rest is just fear dressed up as holiness.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, then the Bible says your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. The Bible also says that it is not works that will get us into heaven, but grace.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us" (Titus.3:5); "for by grace you are saved, through faith...it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast..." (Eph. 2:8-9).

Salvation consists in Christ living out His life in you. You are born again when you submit your heart to Him in repentance. From this point forward, you need only confess when you stumble into sin, not that He does not know, but that you need that exercise to help you draw near Him and grow in faith. Those who are Christ's have passed from death to life and will not enter into judgment.
In Christ, Tom
