Works or actions, not faith or belief?

The Creeds say that Jesus came down to earth for all mankind; they don't say that GOD forgave only a select few. In addition, the Bible supports the position that whether you go to hell or not will be based on what you as an individual do, not what you profess or believe. This is particularly evident in John 3 and in Matthew 25.
Really?
Here's John 3:
quote:
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(KJV)
