rebaptised
Second immersion ceremony
Rebaptised is the past tense of rebaptise, meaning to baptise again.
Some Christian denominations require rebaptism when converts join from other traditions, holding that the original baptism was invalid: She was rebaptised after joining the new church.
The spelling rebaptized is more common in American English.
