Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") are baptized by immersion by a man who has the priesthood authority to do so. In order to be baptized, the person must have spoken with Church leaders about their faith in Jesus Christ and must be at least 8 years old. Those under age 18 must also have permission from their parents.

The baptism may be performed in any body of water deep enough to be immersed in, although many church buildings have a font where the baptism can be performed. Family and friends are welcome to attend and view the baptismal service.

Why is baptism used in Christianity as a form of entrapment especially by the Mormons?

Baptism is not used as a form of entrapment. Most Christian churches, including the Mormons, offer some type of baptism cancellation, where you can have your name taken of the official member list of the church. Baptism in most churches is a personal symbol of your new life in Christ, it holds no obligation that requires you to participate in that church. Many people who are baptized into specific churches eventually leave that church or simply stop coming to worship.

Will the dutch de-baptism process be rolled out to other countries?

I don't think so - the internet has made the world a smaller place and this de-baptism process can be done online.

Can there or should be only one baptism by water in the Methodist?

That depends on your religion. Some religions, such as Catholics, hold a baptism by "sprinkling" an infant, and occasionally an adult will ask for a second. Others, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints ("Mormons"), will refuse a second baptism because the ordinance is not granted until the member is eight or older and has chosen to join.
