Page templates are not appropriate for writing redirects. Try to put your redirect logic in functions.php with an appropriate hook.

// Add the code in functions.php 

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'wpso39502735_redirect', 10, 3 );

function wpso39502735_redirect() {

    // Add your logic here otherwise all requests will redirect to "My Page"
    return get_page_by_title('My Page');
}

If by any chance you must redirect after the page load, use Javascript instead.
