After walking with God and then turning back to eat of your old vomit of the world...this is back sliding.
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. Proverbs 26:11
Depends on how long you been out of the church if one should get rebaptized or not. Its a personal decision consulting God on the matter.

Backsliding is just falling back into your old ways. For example; If you use to be a heavy drinker, found Christ and gave up drinking, then fell back into to your bad habit, that's backsliding.
And no, I don't believe you need to be baptized again, unless you didn't understand what it was all about the first time. Getting baptized again doesn't erase screw-ups, no need to start over again

I agree with Dan58. I backslid for about 10 years -- didn't do anything horrendous during those 10 years, but I wasn't going to church, didn't have any Christian fellowship, most importantly, lost my connection with God. Fortunately, God didn't lose His connection with me, watched over me those 10 years.
When I came back to Him, had a spiritual re-birth (again), I didn't feel the need to be re-baptized, and the pastors at my new church didn't think it was necessary.
