If baptism is because of the remission of sins, yes, you CAN be baptized again. It is a public confession that you have placed your faith in Christ.
Some believe you can be baptized again to clear your conscience.

Thanks for the quick response, Berk. I've understood that there are at least two different camps which you've listed above. I have been told by more than one pastor that baptism was for the remission of our sins.
If it was just for public confession of a person's faith then in my opinion would be there wouldn't be a need to be baptized again. The reason for this belief was I should already be a walking public confession everyday with my words, deeds and most importantly His grace.
Still on the fence with this dilemma...I've spent time today wrapping up some personal legal matters, estate, so that no one would have to deal with such matters after I pass away (if that is God's will).
This is an urgent personel matter for me...anymore insight friends?
