OK I voted YES.
The idea that a new believer in Jesus is damned because he expires before baptism is strange to me. The redemption is that of the inner man.
Having said that... I believe Baptism is the first thing a new believer does - in bold profession of his newfound faith. The concept of taking classes or delaying baptism until a certain date, or an annual "Baptismal", is foreign to scripture.
