To be a disciple, you have to go out and teach the word to others, and you must WANT to do good deeds, not be forced to. That's a common misconception, many people think the commandments are there to say what you CAN'T do. The commandments are there for beginner Christians, just a rough guild line of what our morals are, and what aren't seen as good deeds. Just to start out your idea, but it's supposed to expand into you caring and loving all of your brothers and sisters, including the ones that have yet to find Christ.
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.
