Sacramentally, no. At least, not the way Catholics understand baptism. Baptism is an event that happens in time and space and leaves an "indellible mark" on your soul, to use the old terminology. You can leave the church, get excommunicated, convert, whatever, but it doesn't undo what has already been done.

It depends on which one.
The water baptism is just a ceremony that tells the world that you had a spiritual awakening. You can make up any ceremony you want for that to 'unbaptize' yourself.
On the other hand, a spiritual baptism happens when you become one of God's children. Your belief that Jesus is the true Son of God and he died in your place and was raised up again enables you to be free from you old self. It was washed away. You now have a new way of thinking about things, a new way of life. You are now a member of God's family and He himself will give you a new, divine nature.
The reason I said all that is because if you truly had this spiritual baptism and all this happened to you, you would not want to get unbaptized.

If you are a sinner, you are certainly not in a saved state. That would be the same in my definition. I know that GOD wants HIS CHILDREN to "remain faithful until death" according to Revelation 2:10. I would suggest that you grab a Bible and begin to study to show thyself approved unto GOD.

I would refer you to churchmusicgirl's answer. I just wanted to post so you know not everyone is going to give you an antagonistic, smart-*** answer. I thought it was a very important question, I starred it so I could come back and read the answers. Thanks for asking.

Well, if I can be a born-again virgin, I guess you can get unbaptized.

No need. Just quit living for God, if you ever did and let Satan once again have dominion over your life, if you ever took it away from him. It will amount to the same thing.

Go roll around in the dirt. That should do it.

If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

You get unbaptized when your life becomes a life of unrepentance.

All you have to do is renounce the church and the religion that you were baptised into.

I want to. They took me as a baby and babtized me without asking me. Now, as I am older, I see that the Orthodox Church is the embodiment of Evil, and I want out! I want out of Babylon the Harlot.
