You are correct. When sins are forgiven, we become new creatures in Christ as Paul taught. We are regenerated... we die to sin, and are made alive in Christ.
I do believe in the necessity of water baptism as obedience to what the Bible teaches. Baptism is that first step a new born Christian tales in completely surrendering his all to the Lord.
