Don't mix worldly teachings in with Jesus' teachings so it makes no sense. Worldly evangelists say - pray this or admit to this and that and you'll be fine - saved! Always saved because what you did will always be there in your past as a one-off event. God will honour it.
Jesus says - believe He IS then hold to His teachings and wait while holding to them for a truth that He will give you. You do and it is always there in your future that in obedience you will keep adhering - unless you are not a true adherer and therefore not a true disciple. If you do what Jesus says is God's will and you get the promised truth from Him it gives you confiedence He accepts you as a disciple but in obedience you keep on adhering. His promise is also that freedom puts you in a permanent place with God. You only now need to demonstrate to the universe that God is true by your permanence vindicating what Jesus taught. He said you need to remain by His word remaining in you and John later said by His truth remaining in you too (John wrote it after that truth was materislised in the truth of Jesus being crucified then raised). So keep His words to receive His blood/bought truth then keep His words and that truth to renain in Him and bear fruit for God's glory. All the time loving enough to obey Him and believing that He truly IS and hoping in Him, loving the others in Him like He does and the truth commands us - to be what the truth makes us.
