I think repentance is undervalued. The Lord was with you all those years, but according my understanding of the word of God, He wasn't in you.

I think you are born again at repentance, if you are sincerely leaving Satan's kingdom and entering into God's kingdom. After your new birth, you are to be baptized in His name and then baptized by His Spirit. But I believe that you are born again when you enter the Kingdom of God.
