It is the teaching of the church that you do, unless you are a young child.

Yes according to the scriptures, even Jesus was baptized as an example to us. Those who said no does not know the scriptures.
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(New Testament | John 3:5)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 ¶ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
(New Testament | Matthew 28:18 - 19)
23 And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:23)
5 And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy, should have need to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness, O then, how much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even by water!
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 31:5)
59 That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory;
60 For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified;
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:59 - 60)

Absolutely you do . Jesus was as an example. Baptism is not sprinkling either. Re born of water in the name of the Father,Son and Holy Spirit.Read the New Testament.All of it.

No, but you won't be obedient if you fail to do so and you can.
The only thing that keeps you out of heaven is your rejection of the Savior.

Some say yes, some say no. The question is why would you not want to be?

God can choose to save anyone, and for any reason.
But typically, baptism is necessary.
