It has never been something that has robbed me of any peace; however, it has been a subject that I just can't seem to get out of my head.

If baptism was an act of obedience to God's word and I felt that God wanted me to be baptized again, who would baptize me? As far a I can gather, my church doesn't do any re-baptizing for backsliders. I just would like to have this matter resolved once and for all...

I don't understand why God would want you to be re-baptized. I do understand why a person would want to be re-baptized. If you feel that He wants you to be re-baptized, do it. If I was nearby I'd re-baptize you in the bathtub.
