What will you do if you don't have a record of baptismal in the church where you baptized?
If you are catholic, you will need a record to receive first communion, confirmation, and marriage sacraments. The church where you were baptized should have it, but if no longer there, the receiving church should have it. If not, you will need an affidavit from a witness (parent, godparent) who can attest to the baptism. If no witness, you may need a conditional baptism. If you are not catholic, you will need a record to be married in the catholic church to a catholic party. Int his case, if no record is available, or no witness, a declaration of nullity form is used where baptism is in question; this can be approved by the bishop if no other impediments exist.

Can you be baptized a Christian then again as a Roman Catholic?
First off, Catholicism is the first and foremost Christian religion as founded by Christ. As to your question, you can only be baptized once. If done properly, the Catholic Church recognizes the baptism as valid. If the Church is uncertain if a person was validly baptized, that person will receive a conditional baptism. "If you were not baptized before, I baptize you in the name of . . . ."

Are Church of Christ baptisms recognized in the Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerIt depends. Any baptism that is performed with water with the words, "I baptize you, N. in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" in which the water actually runs over the body (sprinkling doesn't count) and with the person administering it intending to do what the Church does, is valid. If any of those are missing, the priest should probably perform a conditional baptism before the person can receive any other sacraments.
