Depends. If you modified /etc/sysconfig/iptables, then yes you need to
service iptables start.
If you used /sbin/iptables, you need to service iptables save after
you're happy with the config.
iptables stop doesn't unload any kernel modules, it merely flushes all
rules. iptables start loads rules from /etc/sysconfig/iptables. iptables
save writes the current active rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
