Many have fallen after being baptized. The Bible even mentions what the congregation must do if and when the wrong doers repent. When they come back not only is the congregation, but see what Luke 15:7 tells us: "I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous ones who have no need of repentance." No, the repentant one does not get baptized again. I invite you to learn more about what the Bible tells us from the international website, jw.org and Bible Teachings > Online Lessons. Thank you for this question.
no True Christian will "backslide" so far as to turn away from The Truth....... there is only one Baptism that saves...... and it is only applied once.... and forever
Ac 8:13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw. ...
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”
After believing and being baptized (i.e. being saved per Mk 16:16), Simon sinned big time. Peter told him the remedy: to repent. If a Christian confesses their sins and repents of them, God will forgive them (Lk 13:3; 1Jn 1:9).
Remember there is only one baptism (Eph 4:5). Only if the baptism was an improper baptism is there a need to be rebaptized properly (Ac 19:1-5).

No. Once you are truly repentant no need to get rebaptized.

I baptise myself every morning before I shave.
No. Consider the following passage.

After you have made your dedication to God Jehovah, you should be baptized.
Baptism lets everyone know that you have dedicated yourself to Jehovah.
So baptism is only for those who are old enough to make a decision to serve God.
No. Baptism is permanent. It is spiritual rebirth. Just as we can only be born once, we can only be baptized once.
No, they need to follow 1 John 1:9.
I mean, if you really want to get wet that badly in front of people.
Nope, you only get baptized once
