No, you can't assure the same data will be addressed without at least including an order by. Even then you would need to make sure that the first X records in the order would not change. For instance, if you order by entered_date DESC, then the data set would change because any new records would get included in the LIMIT.
Will it not always use the natural order of the table in selects/deletes, and therefore return results in the order in which they were inserted?
