No...Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
"use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh"

It isn't as easy to truly mean someting as that; if you've raped, killed, etc your whole life with no remorse, the chances are low that you'll have a true change of heart. Nevertheless, if you really do, and you throw it all on Jesus, yes, you will go to heaven. To claim that there is ANY sin, and I mean ANY AT ALL, is beyond the gift of mercy Jesus offers is to imply that there was something that Jesus held back, that the gift is still something that can be bought; it's either absolute, or quantifiable, and therefore earnable, undermining the foundation Christianity is built on.

So it is believed by Christians. However, there is some debate whether it will work if you decide deliberately to commit all these crimes with the full intention of waiting until later to ask forgiveness. "Hey, I'll kill, rape, and loot to my heart's content, then simply ask forgiveness later and all will be forgiven."
Jesus forgives true repentance, and what I just described is not true repentance, it is playing games with Jesus.

Once you become aware of what you are doing, you are responsable. if you are TRULY sorry for your sins, and ask for fogiveness, you will be forgiven- but remember, in the days of old- such people were put to death! Well, like they said, you don't know when your gonna die, so you really should change now, or you'll have to wait a LONG time, before you can...You need to ask God to forgive you, in the name of His Son. it's not the Son that will forgive you, it's God.

Even if you don't ask forgiveness before you physically die here, you are still offered the opportunity to evolve. You will of course have to take responsibility for your actions. Asking God/Jesus for forgiveness is a good start, but in no way absolves you of the crimes you have committed against others.
You will find that you must expiate the wrong-doings you have committed.

No. You will go to hell. Repentance takes time, and a change of heart.
Book of Mormon. Alma Chapter 34
33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many awitnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not bprocrastinate the day of your crepentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the dnight of edarkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful acrisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth bpossess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.

Hard to say, you'd probably be caught, tried, sentenced, and executed. What happens after you die is a toss up, I wouldn't make any bets on being forgiven for a life of brutality without serious remorse.

If you truly repent. Look at the thief on the cross.
But you truly have to believe in God, and turn away from your sins, and if you have every intention of going out and doing something stupid like that then killing yourself or something, don't think of this as an escape route from hell.

Yes. The only sin you can not be forgiven is rejecting God's Son (Jesus) as your peronal savior.

You do not know when you are going to die. Remember God knows your heart and he knows your plans. While you are making your plans, God has his own. You may well plan to repent before you die but God will know your evil heart and take you before you can even repent. How about a sudden heart attack, a gun shot, a car accident. Could be pretty sudden. Please do not ask stupid questions.
