I don't believe in Heaven, but if I can find a loophole, hey, why not.

If you don't believe, there wouldn't be a heaven to get into. If you believe that Jesus isn't your savior or there's no God (since you don't specify) but you are still worried about going to the heaven you believed in during your youth...then you still believe because you believe that heaven still exists.
Hm. It seemed easier to phrase before started writing.

I think that many people would question whether you were truly "saved" during your childhood. Many people doubt the fact that saying a "sinner's prayer" without any heart/life/soul change really means you are "saved".
I know how you feel, but I think what I don't believe in is the modern church--which is in many ways bearing false witness to Jesus Christ. I still believe in the Truth. You just have to search for it... if it's a matter of convenience to you, then you probably didn't search hard enough!
As to whether you still get to go to heaven... ummm. Well, if you don't desire to live with God right now, why would you want to live with Him later? I would venture to say that if you don't believe in the Truth, you probably won't experience the same things believers would.
Keep searching.

I believe that children are saved because they are children and innocent to everything anyway. If you would have continued to believe, you would be fine too. It says in the bible that if you believe and ask Jesus into your heart and say with your own mouth that you believe basically, then you are saved. You are saying you do not believe. Maybe that answers your question.
If you come to a point again where you do believe, you would still go to heaven. God is forgiving too and does not change his mind. It is never to late.

I think it is like a marriage. If you get married sometime in your life and decide to get a divorce you are no longer married. If it didn't work that way God would be forcing you to spend eternity doing something you don't want to do. Heaven would be hell to you. If it worked the other way everyone should get "saved" and then do whatever they want cause they know that they are going to heaven regardless of what they are doing now since they were already "saved". Just my 2 cents

You don't believe in God but you do believe in Heaven? You can't have it both ways. Personally I'm with the 'once saved always saved' crown, so the answer is yes - you will still get to Heaven. Don't worry - God still believes in you!

I think No, entry to Heaven is based on Faith and belief on Jesus. No one comes to the Father accept through Jesus. Heaven is where you will be with God for eternity.
God = The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus is the son

I am sorry to say that Jesus says, you can only get to the Father through him. When you make the conscious decision to not believe, you do not get to heaven.
the baptists believe that once saved always saved. John 3:16 says that those who BELIEVE in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

I don't think that as achild you understood the true meaning of salvation.
(That is also the reason that some churches/denominations don't baptize children)
But to answer your question:
No, you will not go to heaven until you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth, that Jesus Christ died for your sins, to reconcile you back to the Father and that He rose again on the third day.
So, "repent, for ther Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"

You don't believe in Jesus but you still think there is heaven? That doesn't make much sense. No, if you don't believe then you don't go to heaven.

if you are asking do you still get into heaven then that means you still believe. think about it. look into other religions and just try to be the best person you can be. i dont honestly believe that any so called "god" would leave someone out of heaven just because they didnt believe.
