If you were baptized once as a kid, than walked away from God, than wanted to be baptized agian is it possible? What I'm asking is can you be baptized twice or is the one time you do it basically it?

Hi Kris!
Yes! You can be baptised again! As a child of 10 years old, I was baptized along with my sister who was 9 at the time. Reflecting back on that time, I think I did it to please my mother, and not for the right reasons. When my parents died in a car accident when I was in my early 20s, I turned from God, living a life that He would never be pleased with. When I asked our precious Jesus Christ back into my life in 1994, I was baptised again. This time for all the right reasons and with more understanding of what baptism is all about! Hope this answers your question!
love,
Georgie

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil- it has no point.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

You only need to be baptized once, presuming you were saved then. Real baptism always takes place after salvation. Georgie has a wonderful testimony. She's only been baptized once on the right side of salvation. One question you need to ask yourself is did you turn away from God and come back to Him, or was this the first time you have really and genuinely placed your trust in Him? If you're not sure, err on the side of caution and take a swim, plunge on in, jump in the deep, get dunked, and just plain get wet.
In His service

You can rededicate and turn your life directly over to Jesus and allow Him to be in total control of your life and start building your faith and trust in Him. Once you were dunked (Baptized) you received your salvation. When we astray from God after being baptized we must repent of our sins and rededicate our lives to Jesus to actually receive our salvation.
