You only have free will while you are living. After you die, it is up to God to send you where he wants.

No one have probably forced you to write here. One of the glaring example that nobody forces you to be anywhere even when you die. Heaven or Hell is the consequences of what you choose to do or not to do. Even then, do not think of heaven and hell as a physical place where you will have your own room. that is just a state of mind or your consciousness falsely bombarded with information overload which you need to get rid of.
The option you are asking for like Reincarnation may not be true to Christians so why not try looking for the right source where you can freely find everything about it. Free Will includes your freedom to choose your religion or not to choose any. Do not stick to a religion where what you want is not being offered.

Who ever told you such a lie? You are not forced to go to Heaven or to any hell.
We are going into the eternal age for the long haul (forever). There will be one government, run overall by one King, Jesus Christ. If you do not wish to be part of that, then you will not go to heaven, and you will not remain in any pit of torment, either:
You will follow satan into the lake of fire, and will be blotted out of existance, period.
Nothing will remain of you, as if you never existed at all; not even a memory of you will exist. Thats why there will be no tears.
Reincarnated to where? There is no such thing first of all, but even if there was, where exactly do you want to be reincarnated to?
Outer space? This earth age will be destroyed, there won't be anything to reincarnate to - the earth won't be destroyed, just the age.
The next earth age we will be living in right here, as I said, with God being the governmental system. If you don't want to be a part of it, we don't want you reincarnated back to us - thats the whole reason we are all going thru this flesh life right now - to weed out all those who don't want to be part of the family. Your options are to either shape up, or literally ship out.

God's "free will" isn't actually a free will. It is more like traffic law. You can choose to obey or disobey the law. And if you disobey, you may be punished. However, without the free will, there would be no option to disobey. You car would not be able to exceed the speed limit, and stuff like that. So our incredible gift of free will from god is the ability to not act as preprogrammed robots.
Personally, I see no benefit to this gift if there are negative consequences for acting on my free will. It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to make a choice.

Going to heaven or hell will only happen on judgement day. Meanwhile we have the option to reincarnate if we want to graduate and go to heaven. If you do not want to reincarnate and resolve your failures then you go to hell. It is still your choice heaven or hell. We may ask, why do we forget everytime we reincarnate. The answer is that the test is not open notes. It is closed notes--no cheating only coaching and guidance by Christ.

your not forced. Seriously, would you wanna be reincarnated and have to suffer through life all over again, or hang out in heaven? I would pick heaven. And God did give us a free will, so we can pick him and go to heaven, or deny him and go to hell. Its your choice.

If God created us to automatically believe in him and love him, then that love and belief would be artificial. Christians believe and love God because we know what he did for us and are happy to be accepted into heaven. For those who do not want to believe or have anything to do with God, then God will send them far away from him which is hell.

The available options are not negotiable. However, you should consider yourself fortunate that God tells you what they are and lets you choose which one is your destination. Things could be worse!
God would be just in sending everyone to hell, but thankfully he made a way of escape.

According to Christianity you have no choices but Heaven or Hell. It is the same as pointing a gun at someone and tell them "follow me or die". There is no free will in that.

You send yourself to Hell. By choosing to violate Gods law. Everything good flows from God and if you don't want to follow him then you choose to go to a place that is the farthest from the source of good, "Hell".
If you are ignorant of the truth you might be exempt, but every man must follow the law of God written on there heart. There are things one naturally knows is wrong and if you freely choose to do them then you choose to go to the place where you and your pride can have an eternity to mourn and repent over your arrogance.

God gave us humans free will to follow His teachings or not. When your physical body dies, so does your free will. Free will is your ability to make a conscious choice about what you will do in this earthly life. When your body dies, you no longer have free will because you no longer "reside" in your physical body. That's why it so important to make wise choices here on earth as these choices will determine where you spend eternity. Please don't listen to these non-believers as they don't care where you spend eternity as they don't even care about themselves much less you! Better to believe and be wrong than to NOT believe and be wrong!
