These things will NOT get you to heaven. The Bible says our good works are like filthy rags. We are saved by grace alone. The Bible says:
Gal 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
And: Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
In other words, there are not enough good things you could possibly do too make it to heaven. Putting your faith in Jesus Christ is the ONLY way. It's called being born again. The Holy Spirit then lives in you. Only after a true heart change do good works count. Once you are born again, then you do good works because you ARE saved.
