Yes. You do. But from what you are saying I suspect your definition of born again is way off. You are born again if you believe that Jesus came down to earth to die for your sins, then rose from the grave three days later and you commit your life to Christ. being baptized is simply and display of that faith and obedience, but has nothing to do with being saved.

If you place your faith in Christ and then die before you are baptized you still go to heaven. Maybe that explains it better? I think we are getting confused, or maybe you misunderstand what we are talking about/believe?
