      Yes, we believe this.  This question is almost an exact quote from The Book of Mormon; Mosiah 3:19 http://scriptures.lds.org/en/mosiah/3/19#19

          For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from
          the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he
          yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off
          the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement
          of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive,
          meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to
          all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him,
          even as a child doth submit to his father.

    See for yourself--an excellent discussion what the natural man is and how we are to be born of Christ. http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=979394bf3938b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&hideNav=1

    No,

    The 'Natural Man' Is the sensual, carnal & selfish desires which lead to the seeking of our own self interests, entertaining such things leads to sin.

    Greed, Gluttony, Lust etc, etc.

    These thoughts or feelings do not just stop or go away, because you've been baptised.

    Christs atonement is not a process that should be abused!

    ( Just because you think or feel, you've been saved doesnt mean you should stop trying to resist Temptation.)
