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.

This is bad?

I think it more closely parallels crossing yourself with holy water when you enter church. A reminder of your baptism.
