Will Jon Snow be resurrected by Melisendre?

Okay, so in ADWD Jon is stabbed by the members of the Nights Watch. Just before he blacks out, Jon whispers "Ghost". Is it plausible that Jon can warg into his direwolf like the other Stark Children? If so, then it just so happens that Lady Melisendre is at the Wall with Jon. It is well known that priests of R'hollor can resurrect people from the dead, considering Lord Beric Dondarrion was revived 6 times by Thoros of Myr before giving his life to resurrect Catelyn Stark. If Jon warged into Ghost just before he died, then essentially Jon's conscience will live on in Ghost’s body until Melisendre revives Jon’s body. Part of the Nights Watch vows say their watch 'shall not end until my death'. Jon could see this as being relieved of his vows to the Nights Watch as he has died and he has been reborn again. After this he could take up Stannis' offer and be legitimised as a Stark. Or he could get the word from the former captain of the guard in Riverrun, Ser Robin Ryger (who was close to the Blackfish who would have been told about Robb’s will by Lord Edmure, and was sent to the wall by Ser Jaime Lannister), that he has been named as King in the North by Robb Stark’s will. This decree coming from Robb will be a much more convincing argument from Jon’s POV because one of the major factors in Jon turning down Stannis’ offer was that he felt like he was robbing Sansa or Arya of their birthright. Knowing that Robb wanted this could be a major turning point in Jon’s life and story arc.
