There's a messianic pastor in this area that encourages multiple baptisms. If you feel like sin in your life is getting in the way of your relationship with God he encourages another baptism. I'm not sure where I stand on this. Haven't given it a whole lot of thought.

Can't say that I see anything wrong with it, understood symbolically, of course.

One might as well confess to a priest and get absolution. It's the same type of "let's wipe the slate clean and start over" thing.
