rebaptizes
Second immersion ritual
Rebaptizes means to baptize again.
Some Christian traditions reject infant baptism and require adult believers to be rebaptized by immersion.
Others rebaptize converts from denominations they consider invalid.
The practice is controversial—many churches hold that baptism is unrepeatable.
The church rebaptizes anyone who wasn't fully immersed the first time.
