If clause + simple future
"If you do not stop making noise, I will call the police!"
"If you do not stop making noise, I am going to call the police."

If clause + present continious
"If you do not stop making noise, I am calling the police."
"If you don't stop, I'm kicking you out."

Are the second set of examples grammatically acceptable?

You've correctly used contractions (don't/I'm) in a few places. In casual speech they'd be more natural every time.
