Please take the time to read this first post and pray that prayer at the bottom of it to God from your heart. Accept His free gift of savation. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

How on earth are you going to get into Valhalla believing rubbish like that?
Hate to be the one to break it to you, but when you die, that's it. It's over. Nothing after.
So make the most of your time here.
The first part of your post (which is basically a repitition of the Four Spiritual Laws tract, the so-called "Romans Road") was at least partially informative. Point #4, however, begs the following question:
Where does the New Testament teach that by reciting a prayer---even if you "meant it with all of your heart"---you thereby "become a child of God and will go to heaven when you die"?Indeed, this seems to run counter to what the Bible actually says about people becoming Christians in the New Testament. (Consider, for example, Peter's answer when asked what one must do to be saved in Acts 2:37-41.)

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Rom 10:9)
That for me is reciting a prayer. I will recite that prayer for you: "I, lifeisgood, confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and [I, lifeisgood] believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead." And because of God's promise in His Word, I am saved.
Saying words, save NO one. BELIEVING the recited words of the prayer, saves ALL who recite the prayer because they BELIEVED ALREADY.
You can accept what the Word of God states or you can reject that.
