What's that mean? If it means that they'll automaticlly make it to Heaven then why do you have to be saved? Will it just be different for them?

The idea here is that whoever puts their trust in God will not be ashamed through disappointment that God is unable to deliver on His promises of eternal life and the promise of the Kingdom of God.

You are trying to read this literally in simplistic form without applying the proper context and meaning...
The word "believe" here includes following through with the actions of believing which are faith and obedience to God and His Word (the Holy Bible).
This is a classic example where millions will find themselves in hell because they simply "believed" in God. Some people even "believe" that just because they own a Bible, they will go to Heaven, like it's a good luck charm or something.
Don't be a victim of this foolishness! Email me if you have any additional questions or concerns about this.

Are you saying that those of us that get everlasting life on earth will be shame because we didn't go to heaven? I'm asking because I don't know if that's what you mean or not. I think about it this way, if someone were GIVING you a brand new EXPENSIVE car... Does it make a difference what kind it is? It'll be a brand new life, does it really matter where?
Oh, and those going to heaven or freeded from sin and death,flesh and blood can't go to heaven.

Nobody 'automatically' goes to heaven. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, His Son. A person must believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as Lord and Savior. That is how you are 'saved'. God is saying that His 'children' will not be put to shame. He will take care of them.

It does not mean that they will not face trials and tribulations. They must be saved, and also endure until the end.
