The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Technically, no. For example a person who is about to die and there's no one to administer the sacrament of Baptism is believed by most churches to be saved nonetheless. By his profession of faith. We presume that there were people martyred under the Romans or, more recently, in atheistic societies like North Korea who were in a similar situation.Do I need to be baptism to be saved?

Welcome! Water Baptism does not have the power to save however, the Holy Spirit baptism certainly does. Read John the Baptist:Do I need to be baptism to be saved?

If you have professed your faith in the Lord and intend to live a new life as he has instructed us, you could consult a minister...and most of them with congregations would not require you to join as a condition of them baptizing you. It could be that a retired minister or a hospital chaplain or military chaplain would be a good choice.I don't have a church memebership at this point. What can I do to be baptised?

So, in answer to the question, there is no Scriptural evidence for having a series of baptisms, one for each time the person sins and repents and wants to be right with God again.I don't know of any such Scripture, but if one believes the first baptism was not according to Scripture, and wants to be baptized by a real "born again" saint --as a testimony to the world of their stand for Jesus: the Christ, it would be acceptable by God as one desiring to honor Him, I am convinced.

Is there a case in Scripture in which somebody officially rejects the baptism he's already received and so has a second one (or third or fourth as some other posters have describe4d doing)?
Yes. That is the position taken by those who do not consider the person's original baptism negated when and if he later sins.Not specifically, but you can betray your baptism by the life you lead. The good thing is you can always return to your baptism through repentence, and forgiveness.
I was born into a nominally Mormon family, I was baptised shortly after my 8th birthday. I left Mormonism around Age 21, I drifted around and could never find a church where I belonged. While serving in the US Navy, one of our Chaplains was Lutheran (LCMS) we talked a lot, so I took the plunge. My Pastor and I talked about my Mormon baptism, and since Mormonism is not Christianity, it was agreed that I should receive Christian Baptism, that was 1998...I consider this to be my first.
