Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated. The baptisms of those to be received into the Catholic Church from other Christian communities are held to be valid if administered using the Trinitarian formula.Click to see full answer. Also to know is, what are the requirements for baptism?Godparents and Christian Witnesses must be at least 16 years of age and the Catholic must have received all of their Sacraments. You can not serve as a Christian Witness if you are Muslim, Jewish, Mormon (or another faith with invalid baptisms) or if you are unbaptized.Furthermore, what does the Bible say about getting baptized? Acts 2:38 says, “Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” This scripture encourages us that when we are baptized, we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit and he becomes part of us. Similarly, how many times should one be baptized? Theoretically there is no limit on the number of times one can be baptized. On the other hand, only one baptism is commanded with regard to one’s faith in Jesus Christ. And let me be clear on that point: water baptism is not required to have salvation, but only to publicly affirm the salvation one has.Can you get baptized if you don’t go to church?No, don’t get baptized. Baptism is an “outward sign” of an inner change. If you get baptized it will be a meaningless gesture. It would be better if you got SAVED first, so when you get baptized you can really mean it.
