If you believe that it is the God of the bible or Christ of the bible, do not make any vows. Just obey.
Also, You don't have to do works to be saved with Christ. Faith in Christ as Savior and Lord is sufficient. While doing good works is not required for salvation in Christ, repentance is needed. After you already are saved in Christ, then you can please God by obeying Christ's will.
I have heard this as a definition of repentance unto salvation. . . it is a change of mind.
You will not need to work your way to heaven with Christ, grace and faith are involved.
King James Version
===============
Ephesians 2: 8, 9
----------------------
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 10: 10
-------------------
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 16: 30, 31
-------------------
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
