No it is based on living faith which produces good works (which is Christ Jesus working in us who continue to believe;
Ephesians 2:8-10).
James 2.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
We know it says "Blessed are they that do his commandments" (as God promised,
Psalms 12:6-7, etc), from the following texts that John is citing from:
Psalms 118:19 Open to me
the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
Isaiah 26:2 Open ye
the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
Psalms 119:142 Thy
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and
thy law is the truth.
Psalms 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and
all thy commandments are truth.
Psalms 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for
all thy commandments are righteousness.
Angels go in and out of those gates:
Psalms 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye
his angels, that excel in strength,
that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Beyond this, the historical evidence says the same:
""... Blessed are they who do his commandments ..."

Every work (good or evil) is brought into the judgment:
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man (Adam).
Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
As it is written:
Ephesians 5:5 For this
ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
1 Peter 4:15 But let none of
you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
Smoking is self-murder. All those who smoke (Christian or not). Repent, while there is still time and grace.
We are warned:
Isaiah 1:21 How is
the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but
now murderers.
I do not speak of those who actually believe
to the saving of their souls (persons) (
Hebrews 10:39), but those who cease to believe after believing.
Matthew 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but
dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Mark 4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so
endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he
becometh unfruitful.
Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and
it becometh unfruitful.
Luke 8:13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root,
which for a while believe, and
in time of temptation fall away.
Many more texts and examples on this. I have been through the so-called OSAS texts. Read them carefully, please, look for the modifiers.
