I backslid and came back to our merciful Savior, but I've been troubled in my spirit about the need to wash all those sins under the blood through the act of baptism. Has anyone heard of this being practice in our churches?
Any scripturally based answers that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

If baptism was done properly in Jesus name, then you only need to be baptized once. Baptism symbolizes our burial (
Romans 6:3-5). You are only buried once if the burial was done properly. A backslider only needs to truly repent (turn around) and follow after God.
Hebrews 12:14
