Sure baptisms can be repeated, especially if one was baptized as an unbelieving infant! One would need to be baptized if one ever got saved!!!!

Actually, in the Catholic and Methodist churches, a person baptized as an infant CANNOT be baptized again in their church.

Baptism is NOT a requirement for eternal life. The thief on the cross, next to Jesus, was NOT baptised and Jesus told him, he'd be with Him in paradise. It is BELIEF and FAITH in Him that allow you to have eternal life. Baptisim is a public and sympbolic announcemnt of your desire for eternal life.

"Wonder if he was already baptized as a baby, and was unaware that baptism cannot be repeated."

I've been baptised four times. First as a baby in an Episcopal church, then again at age 12, I was baptised in a Baptist church. They told me I was saved, and baptised me. Thirdly at age 45 when I KNEW I was saved. I gave my heart to Christ and turned my life over to him, and WANTED to be baptised. Fourth, when we went to Israel, we all got baptised in the Jordan River. I treasure numbers 3 and 4. There are no baby or child baptisms in the bible that I know of.
