rebaptized
Second immersion ceremony
Rebaptized means baptized again.
Some Christian traditions reject infant baptism as invalid, requiring believers to be rebaptized as adults.
Others rebaptize converts from different denominations.
The term extends figuratively to any ritual renewal or symbolic fresh start: The company was rebaptized with a new name and mission.
